Use Case WG update

@Former user (Deleted)

• Recently ratified as a WG under the FDC3 umbrella

• Once we have a charter and objectives, Soari will send out an FDC3-wide communication asking for participation >> process confirmed by the PMC

• Kick-off session in end of June

• JT + Johan volunteered to help prepare for the kick-off, including working on the agenda, docs, and logistics

• Reminder: goal of the use cases WG is document business use cases for interop, so the standards / tech groups can validate against them

• Saori will request a webex from FINOS to be used for the WG (by emailing help@finos.org)

• Johan recommends we announce the new WG to the broader FINOS >> PMC agrees

Onboarding and Membership process proposal

@Nicholas Kolba

proposal

• How do we define participation & membership?

• Saori: is it ok to contact people directly by email? >> aye, PMC agrees

• Google Groups – discussion on group privacy settings

  • Frank: Google groups represents distribution lists. As members join the group, I ask for their permission to add them to the google group. Emails that are sent get published to that group. Anyone can email that google group. Only the owners of the group can add users to that list.

  • In legacy groups the goal of Google Groups was to create transparency by making the data public. People can post new topics publically. Membership is private.

  • Each group can decide if they want to be public or private

  • Action: each WG owner to check permissions in their Google Groups

Membership Definition Proposal – Nick

Review of Nick’s Membership Definition Proposal: https://finosfoundation.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FDC3/pages/195264513/On-boarding+and+Participation+Proposal

• Participants: there should be a human touch to onboarding, a welcome email sent and some questions asked (which company, interest in FDC3, etc) – goal is to get the community engaged and contributing

• Organizational participants: there is value in saying what it means for an org to be participating members and to have representative in those organizations. Should this be a privileged status? Should we look at participation metrics to establish status? We can participants to opt their organizations into FDC3 when joining. To establish FDC3 standards, we need organizations championing them. Status should not be used to self-promote commercial services.

• Committer: the role may be a little vague at the moment, but we want to show level of participation
