 # 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,

+### 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.
