+CY24 Technical Audit
+======================
+
+The CTI TAC will conduct an annual technical audit of the services
+provided to ensure that the services in use continue to meet the
+technical requirements of the community.
+
+The audit will cover:
+
+ * Reviewing that services cover the current requirements, including any security requirements.
+
+ * Reviewing that the services are being provided using FOSS.
+
+ * Reviewing the cost of all services currently being provided.
+
+If prices have increased or services are not being provided by FOSS
+that will be noted in the public report and actions will be taken
+by the TAC to discuss these with the community and current service
+provider.
+
+Service Audit
+=============
+
+* Video conferencing services
+
+ * Service uses `BBB <https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton>`_
+ which is FOSS and LGPL-3.0 licensed.
+
+It was raised by Ian Kelling that the current BigBlueButton conference service
+currently has a `dependency on the non-free MongoDB <https://lore.kernel.org/cti-tac/87v846a1zi.fsf@fsf.org/>`_.
+The upstream BigBlueButton developers intend to remove the dependency on this
+non-free component, but that work has not yet completed. As part of the CY24
+audit we should discuss what actions CTI will take regarding this issue since
+we require that all services should be implemented with free software. The
+best outcome would be to remove the dependency on MongoDB, but that needs to
+be discussed with the broader FOSS community to see if we can help prioritize
+or support that work.
