Meetings and Decision Making
Working Group meetings are called and run by the group's chair (or co-chair). Working Groups are encouraged to operate by consensus, but are required to adopt an explicit governance model for non-consensus action. Each Working Group is free to determine its own governance model, but the Foundation recommends adopting the Foundation's voting rules.
Membership
After a Working Group is approved by the ESCo, the Working Group will determine its own process and criteria for admitting new members. Admissions need not be approved by the ESCo, but will be reported to the ESCo from time to time. The ESCo will resolve any disputes within Working Groups regarding admission of members. Only Foundation members are eligible to participate in Working Groups, except upon specific approval of the ESCo.
Reporting and Deliverables
Working Groups are required to report quarterly to the ESCo on their progress. Working Group deliverables (draft specifications, recommendations, etc.) should be presented to the ESCo upon completion.
Coordination with Projects
Working Groups are expected to coordinate with Projects as needed to ensure that Projects' work is aligned with Working Group deliverables (e.g. best practices).
