These +individuals are identified by the WG and their addition as +Collaborators is discussed during the weekly WG meeting. + +_Note:_ If you make a significant contribution and are not considered +for commit-access log an issue or contact a WG member directly and it +will be brought up in the next WG meeting. + +Modifications of the contents of the Diagnostics repository are made on +a collaborative basis. Anybody with a GitHub account may propose a +modification via pull request and it will be considered by the project +Collaborators. All pull requests must be reviewed and accepted by a +Collaborator with sufficient expertise who is able to take full +responsibility for the change. In the case of pull requests proposed +by an existing Collaborator, an additional Collaborator is required +for sign-off. Consensus should be sought if additional Collaborators +participate and there is disagreement around a particular +modification. See _Consensus Seeking Process_ below for further detail +on the consensus model used for governance. + +Collaborators may opt to elevate significant or controversial +modifications, or modifications that have not found consensus to the +WG for discussion by assigning the ***diag-agenda*** tag to a pull +request or issue. The WG should serve as the final arbiter where +required. + +For the current list of Collaborators, see the project +[README.md](./README.md#current-project-team-members). + +### WG Membership + +WG seats are not time-limited. There is no fixed size of the WG. +However, the expected target is between 6 and 12, to ensure adequate +coverage of important areas of expertise, balanced with the ability to +make decisions efficiently. + +There is no specific set of requirements or qualifications for WG +membership beyond these rules. + +The WG may add additional members to the WG by majority consensus. + +A WG member may be removed from the WG by voluntary resignation, or by +unanimous consensus of all other WG members. + +Changes to WG membership should be posted in the agenda, and may be +suggested as any other agenda item (see "WG Meetings" below). + +If an addition or removal is proposed during a meeting, and the full +WG is not in attendance to participate, then the addition or removal +is added to the agenda for the subsequent meeting. This is to ensure +that all members are given the opportunity to participate in all +membership decisions. If a WG member is unable to attend a meeting +where a planned membership decision is being made, then their consent +is assumed. + +No more than 1/3 of the WG members may be affiliated with the same +employer. If removal or resignation of a WG member, or a change of +employment by a WG member, creates a situation where more than 1/3 of +the WG membership shares an employer, then the situation must be +immediately remedied by the resignation or removal of one or more WG +members affiliated with the over-represented employer(s). + +### WG Meetings + +The WG meets monthly on a Google Hangout On Air. A designated moderator +approved by the WG runs the meeting. Each meeting should be +published to YouTube. + +Items are added to the WG agenda that are considered contentious or +are modifications of governance, contribution policy, WG membership, +or release process. + +The intention of the agenda is not to approve or review all patches; +that should happen continuously on GitHub and be handled by the larger +group of Collaborators. + +Any community member or contributor can ask that something be added to +the next meeting's agenda by logging a GitHub Issue. Any Collaborator, +WG member or the moderator can add the item to the agenda by adding +the ***diag-agenda*** tag to the issue. + +Prior to each WG meeting the moderator will share the Agenda with +members of the WG. WG members can add any items they like to the +agenda at the beginning of each meeting. The moderator and the WG +cannot veto or remove items. + +The WG may invite persons or representatives from certain projects to +participate in a non-voting capacity. + +The moderator is responsible for summarizing the discussion of each +agenda item and sends it as a pull request after the meeting. + +### Consensus Seeking Process + +The WG follows a +[Consensus Seeking](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus-seeking_decision-making) +decision-making model. + +When an agenda item has appeared to reach a consensus the moderator +will ask "Does anyone object?" as a final call for dissent from the +consensus. + +If an agenda item cannot reach a consensus a WG member can call for +either a closing vote or a vote to table the issue to the next +meeting. The call for a vote must be seconded by a majority of the WG +or else the discussion will continue. Simple majority wins. + +Note that some changes to WG membership require unanimous consensus.
