The [[https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Tool_Labs/Tool_Labs_standards_committee|Tool Labs standards committee]] initial policies state:
> Have signed the Wikimedia Foundation's [[https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteer_NDA|Volunteer NDA]] before being appointed
NDA protection is required for the Tool Labs standards committee members because in the course of their duties they may have access to unpublished and/or unlicensed source code as well as log files and credentials associated with tools and bots that they did not author.
@bd808 will act as the WMF employee sponsor for those approved nominees who have not yet signed the [[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/L2|Trusted Volunteer Access & Confidentiality Agreement]]. @chasemp will act as the required WMF manager in the approval process.
Following a period of public nomination the #Labs and #community-tech-tool-labs teams met to review the candidates and select the initial committee membership. The following nominees have been approved by to join the committee:
| User | NDA task | Status |
| ---- | -------- | ------ |
| @eranroz | T154688 | C-level approval needed |
| @Harej | | Awaiting request or confirmation of exiting NDA |
| @Huji | T154642 | Awaiting L2 signature |
| @Ladsgroup | T134651 | `{{done}}` |
| @Matanya | | Awaiting request or confirmation of exiting NDA |
| @Quiddity | T154628 | C-level approval needed |
| @zhuyifei1999 | T154641 | C-level approval needed |
They have all been notified on their Wikitech talk pages and asked to start the NDA process if they have not already signed.
