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).

Leadership Council Approval Process

  1. The Proposing Member obtains a blank Work Group Charter template and fills it out.
  2. The Proposing Member submits the completed WG Charter to the LC Secretary.
  3. The LC Secretary, in conjunction with the KI Staff, review the WG Charter to ensure it adheres to the rules laid out in the KI Bylaws and Operating Procedure documents.
    NOTE: This step is only to ensure the charter adheres to the form, and does not include any vetting of the content.
  4. The LC Secretary notifies the Proposing Member when the WG Charter is officially accepted.
  5. KI Staff adds the WG Charter to the wiki, forwarding the link to the LC Secretary for distribution.
  6. The 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.
  7. The LC Chair, working with the LC and Proposing Member, 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.
