voted on by the newly-elected EC and SSC by the end of April 2024. If
approved, the EC anticipates that the effective date of a move to LF
could be 60 days later, by the end of June 2024.

## Did we consider the Apache Software Foundation (ASF)?

Yes. In our due diligence process, we considered several potential homes for
Jupyter. Specifically regarding ASF, moving to Apache would entail changing our
software license (to Apache), changing our project name to be [prefixed with
"Apache"](https://projects.apache.org/projects.html), and drastically changing
our project governance and communication channels. We saw these disruptions to
the community as too extreme compared to the benefits it would provide.

## Is this a major change to Project Jupyter’s governance?

No. The control of the Project will remain with the same bodies (EC and SSC)
that have control under the umbrella of NumFocus when and if we move to the
Linux Foundation. There will be a new standing committee created to handle
corporate fundraising for the benefit of Project Jupyter. This committee will be
tasked with raising funds and budgeting the funds they raise in close
collaboration with the Project’s leadership (EC).
