# CNCF Working Groups

## Introduction
## Working Groups (not in a TAG)

This section outlines the process for working groups that are not part of a TAG.
We are currently updating this process. To create a new working group today,
please follow the process for creating a WG in a TAG.

### Introduction

The purpose of working groups are to study and report on a particular question and make recommendations based on its findings. The end result of a working group may be a new project proposal, landscape, whitepaper or even a report detailing their findings. The intention of working groups is not to host a full project or specification. Working Groups can be formed at any time but must be sponsored by a TOC member and voted with a super majority vote by the CNCF TOC. The TOC can also shut down a working group with a super majority vote.

## Process
### Process

If you would like to submit a working group proposal, please submit a pull request to the working groups folder. As an example, you can see the other working group proposals here: https://github.com/cncf/toc/tree/main/workinggroups

* The location of meetings / agenda / notes

## Working Groups (as part of a TAG)

This section outlines the process for working groups
that are part of a TAG.

### Creating a new WG

To request for a new working group as part of a TAG, an issue must be created
against the `cncf/toc` repo stating the charter of the WG.

The issue must be approved by:

- TOC liaisons for the respective TAG.
- If a TAG has 3 TOC liaisons, the issue must be approved by at least 2 liaisons.
- At least one of the TAG chairs/leads or any process spelled out in a TAG's charter.

A publicly linkable written decision should be available for all approvals.
