Devin's Recommendation for Group Transparency Workflow

• Submit Registration Form to Information WG
  • Group Name
  • Contact People
    • Name
    • Email
    • Phone
  • Group Description
• Information WG alerts GA facilitators about registration and they put the group on the agenda to announce.
• Group announces it's proposed creation to GA.
• Group attends Introductory Workshop
  • Discussion to clarify group purpose
  • Internal Systems
    • Wordpress
    • Email list
    • SMS Alerts
    • Feeds (minutes, calendar, announcements)
    • How to conduct an effective meeting
    • How to take and format minutes
• Internet Group activates group page
• To remain in 'good standing', Working Groups must meet and publish minutes at least once/week.
• Groups email their minutes to an email address that generates a an RSS published on the GA website.
