Work Group Approval Process

Working Draft

This page is a Working Draft and has not been approved. Leadership Council members can comment directly within this wiki page. Non-members can submit comments to an LC member for consideration.

Overview

This page describes the process by which a Kantara Initiative (KI) Work Group (WG) is approved by the Leadership Council (LC). The page is separated into two parts: one designed to help KI Members who want to form a new Work Group, and the other explains the mechanics required of the LC to approve it.

How to Start a Work Group

  1. A KI Member obtains a blank Work Group Charter template and fill it out.
  2. Submit the completed WG Charter to the Leadership Council Secretary.
  3. Be prepared to answer questions posed by the LC and/or join an LC teleconference.
  4. A vote on the WG Charter will be held within 30 days of the submission.

That's it. Time to start the work!

Leadership Council Approval Process

  1. The LC Secretary accepts the WG Charter, working with Kantara Initiative Staff to ensure the charter adheres to the rules laid out in the KI Bylaws and Operating Procedure documents.
  2. KI Staff add the charter to the wiki, beginning the public review period.
  3. LC Secretary announces to the LC discussion list that a new WG Charter is available for review, along with a link to the wiki page.
  4. LC Chair sets a date for voting on the WG Charter, to be held within 30 days of being received by the LC Secretary.

NOTE: Voting for WG Charters can be held via the LC discussion list or teleconference. In order to be approved, a WG Charter must receive a Simple Majority of the LC Member votes.
