# OpenSSL Technical Committee

The [OpenSSL Technical Committee](/policies/omc-bylaws.html#OTC) represents
the official technical voice of the project. All OTC decisions are taken on
the basis of a vote.

Minutes of the OTC meetings are [published on Github][otc-minutes],
alongside [past votes][otc-votes],
approved [technical policies][otc-tech-policies],
as well as [draft policies][otc-tech-policy-drafts]
under discussion.

One of the tools through which the OTC steers the project
on technical matters is through raising and discussing
["OTC holds"][otc-holds] on incoming [issues][gh-issues]
and [pull-requests][gh-prs].
