Background or context to help others understand the change.

Processes for creating new Standing Committees and Working Groups are not outlined in current governance documents. This documentation will help support those in the community interested in founding new groups.

A brief summary of the change.

A checklist and brief overview of the needed steps to start a new Standing Committee or Working Group.

What is the reason for this change?

  • Helps encourage people to make new working groups / standing committees by making the process easier and more well defined.
  • Saves people time and hopefully makes the entire process faster

Alternatives to making this change and other considerations.

This checklist is one of two documents I propose adding to the our current documentation to provide guidance to the community about the steps to go through before proposing a new Working Group or Standing Committee. The other is a Charter Template which define a list of headers and sections that should be included in new charters.

Perhaps add a step to notify on Discourse after approval (and possibly once it is posted as a PR) to increase visibility to the wider community.
