+# 2026 Q3 Core Toolchain Infrastructure Project (CTI)
+
+## Overview
+
+Core Toolchain Infrastructure Project (CTI) continues to work towards providing state of the art secure infrastructure for the GNU Toolchain and ancillary projects.
+
+In CY26Q3 the work continues to focus on supporting the GNU C Library (one of 4 core GNU Toolchain projects) to migrate services to  CTI.
+
+Since CY26Q2 the project has continued to hold weekly Friday office hours and completed the following:
+
+ * Created CTI service transition plan for glibc and started hashing out the details:
+     * https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/service-transition-plan
+     * https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/after-transition-steps
+     * https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34384
+     * https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/eb4a8c7c-50fc-46fe-aed3-5b8834284f2d@redhat.com/
+ * Met twice with LF IT during Office Hours for CTI to discuss the SOW and work items.
+     * LF IT joining #cti-help on OFTC to discuss specific items in realtime.
+ * Continued engaging with 4 sponsors for CY27 and CY28 funding.
+ * Identified 1 sponsor that needs a pitch deck and information sent to.
+ * Identified 12 other sponsors which we need to follow up with regarding funding and contacts.
+
+The CTI TAC is working closely with developers to transition smoothly to the modern infrastructure for `git` and email. Once this transition is in progress we will continue to review other services and projects in the GNU Toolchain (gcc, binutils and gdb).
+
+## Core Toolchain Infrastructure Project
+
+Core Toolchain Infrastructure Project (CTI) in 2026 Q3 continues to move forward secure development practices, but now in direct support for the GNU C Library (glibc) as the first GNU Toolchain project to migrate to new CTI services.
+
+In order to engage the developers and discuss the transition the CTI TAC continues to hold weekly Friday office hours for the migration.
+
+### Purpose
+
+The Core Toolchain Infrastructure (CTI) Project’s mission is to support the GNU Toolchain community with secure infrastructure and state of the art services required to support the community’s development efforts to be a trusted foundation in a secure supply chain.
+
+The CTI project continues to move forward the goal of creating a long-term sustainable set of secure and state of the art services and infrastructure for the GNU Toolchain and related packages.
+
+Some of the major goals include:
+
+ * Secure and state of the art infrastructure.
+ * Continuity planning for infrastructure, development, and governance.
+ * Security policy planning.
+
+### MVSR
+
+Mission:
+
+ * To support the GNU Toolchain community with secure infrastructure and state of the art services required to support the community’s development efforts to be a trusted foundation in a secure supply chain.
+
+Vision:
+
+ * A thriving ecosystem of software that can be developed with the GNU Toolchain as a trusted foundation in a secure supply chain.
+
+Strategy:
+
+ * Review, prioritize, and support key infrastructure requirements from the GNU Toolchain community in collaboration with project sponsors.
+
+Roadmap:
+
+ * Establish a baseline of secured services with support from project sponsors.
+
+### Current Status
+
+ * Working with Linux Foundation IT to design a transition plan for August to December 2026.
+
+### Up Next
+
+ * Finalize glibc transition plan and dates with community, Sourceware.org and LF IT.
+ * Engage an additional 4 sponsors (of the 12 identified) in CY26Q3-Q4 for CY27 and CY28.
+
+### Funding requests and updates
+
+The Core Toolchain Infrastructure project as a Linux Foundation ADF was already granted funding and has been using this funding to support the service transition.
+
+The remaining funding for CTI will be spent in CY26Q3-Q4 to transition the glibc services to CTI.
+
+Sponsors for CTI are directed to email the TAC at cti-tac@lists.linuxfoundation.org, or to directly review the ADF (https://enrollment.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/?project=cti).
+
+### Questions/Issues for the TAC
+
+None at this time.
