Guidance on Adding a Working Group Chair or Technical Lead

Open devigned opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

What is the standard operating procedure for adding a chair or a technical lead to a working group? TAG elections are pretty clear, but not so clear for a Working Group within a TAG.

Typically, TOC liaisons give a quick approval for that as it comes up. That's probably why it's not documented super well. @Riaankl - we should add this to the list of what we need to write down.

Yes, this is a point that need improvement. Some working groups have leads and tech leads, some just have a facilitator. I am currently working on clarifying TAG docs, but have a TODO list building up for WGs. I will add this to the list.

Cool! - So I guess for now @devigned and I should bring things up to @nikhita / @cathyhongzhang / @RichiH for approval going by https://github.com/cncf/tag-runtime/#toc-liaisons?

Yes, working through the liaisons for a +1 is how it is handle for now.

(just passing by) In the TAG ENV we have a governance document to describe this process. https://github.com/cncf/tag-env-sustainability/blob/main/governance/lead-proposal-process.md#tag-chair-and-tl-election-process There is a PR open to add a version of this as a template to the toc/tags repo. See https://github.com/cncf/toc/pull/1195/
