• The project produces source code for distribution to the public at no charge.
• The project's code is easily discoverable and publicly accessible (preferably on GitHub).
• The project contains a build script that can produce deployable artifacts that are identical to the official deployable artifacts, with the exception of code signing (Exception may be granted for strong name keys, though strongly encouraged to be committed. Exception relies on OSS signing being in the build script for public builds).

• Committers are bound by a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) and/or are willing to embrace the .NET Foundation's CLA when the project becomes a Member.
• The copyright ownership of everything that the project produces is clearly defined and documented.

PR Plan Summary

.NET 9 is removing the BinaryFormatter and has documented to customers a few alternatives for existing users to switch to. These alternatives include MessagePack. Some customers have expressed hesitancy to switch to MessagePack unless it's part of the .NET Foundation.

Infrastructure Requirements Summary

A code signing certificate would be appreciated, as we don't already have one.
