# CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC)
The CNCF TOC is the technical governing body of the CNCF. It admits and oversees all projects in the CNCF and has a mandate to facilitate driving neutral consensus for:
* defining and maintaining the technical vision and [principles](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/PRINCIPLES.md) for the Cloud Native Computing Foundation,
* approving new projects within the scope of the CNCF set by the Governing Board (GB), creating a conceptual architecture for the projects, aligning projects, removing or archiving projects,
* accepting feedback from end user technical advisory board and map to projects,
* aligning interfaces to components under management (code reference implementations before standardizing), and defining common practices to be implemented across CNCF projects, if any.

## Projects
See the [current CNCF projects](https://www.cncf.io/projects/) and a description of project maturity levels (Sandbox, Incubating, Graduated).
The CNCF provides a [list of services](https://www.cncf.io/services-for-projects/) for incubating and graduated projects hosted in the foundation. A subset of these services is also available for [Sandbox](https://www.cncf.io/sandbox-projects/) level projects.
If you would like to know more about the project lifecycle we use, we have [outlined the process](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/process/README.md). If you have any questions or don't know where to start, please open an [issue](https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues).

### Updating TAG or SubProject README files
To modify the README files for individual TAGs or TOC SubProjects, please **do not edit them directly**. Instead, the source of truth for these files is the [`tags.yaml`](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/tags.yaml) file. To understand the process for updating these READMEs by modifying `tags.yaml`, please refer to the [Updating TOC TAG and SubProject README Files document](./generator/updating-tag-and-toc=subproject-readme-files.md).
