| ## Technical Community Groups | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Technical Community Groups are a part of the broader | ||||
| [CNCF Community Groups Program]. They are topic and domain-focused or | ||||
| locality-based groups used as a rallying point for community members to discuss, | ||||
| share knowledge, and coordinate potential future initiatives. They are free to | ||||
| propose and shepherd initiatives when there is an explicit deliverable or | ||||

| ### Rules & Guidelines | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Adhere to the rules and guidelines outlined in the | ||||
| [Cloud Native Community Groups Program]. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### Formation | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Community Groups follow the formation process outlined in | ||||
| [Community Groups README]. | ||||
| TCG's have minimal governance requirements and follow the formation process | ||||
| outlined in [Community Groups README], with the additional step of requiring | ||||
| TOC approval. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### Roles, Terms, and Elections | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| #### Organizer | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| An Organizer is an individual domain expert who is responsible for the overall | ||||
| administration and execution of the TCG, such as scheduling and hosting | ||||
| meetings, promoting the group, and coordinating the creation of initiatives. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| #### Requirements | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - MUST adhere to the [Technical Leadership Principles]. | ||||
| - MUST adhere to the [Community Group Organizer Requirements]. | ||||
| - SHOULD remain active and responsive in their role. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| [Community Group Organizer Requirements]: https://github.com/cncf/communitygroups/blob/main/organizer_roles.md | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| #### Duties | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - SHOULD facilitate meetings but MAY delegate to other Leads or active community | ||||
|   members. | ||||
| - SHOULD mentor future Leads as part of active and continuous succession | ||||
|   planning. | ||||
| - MUST coordinate communication and be a connector with other community groups | ||||
|   like TAGs and the TOC, but MAY delegate the actual communication and creation | ||||
|   of content to other contributors where appropriate. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| #### Activity Expectations | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - Organizers serve 2-year terms. | ||||
| - Organizers SHOULD remain active and responsive. | ||||
| - Organizers MAY decide to step down at any time and propose a replacement to | ||||
|   complete their term. | ||||
|   - The candidate SHOULD be supported by a majority of the current active | ||||
|     organizers. | ||||
| - Organizers taking an extended leave of 1 or more months MUST coordinate with | ||||
|   other Organizers to ensure the role is adequately covered during their leave. | ||||
| - Organizers going on leave for 1-3 months MUST work with the other Organizers | ||||
|   to identify a temporary replacement. | ||||
| - Active Organizers are REQUIRED to notify the community group organizers at | ||||
|   community-groups@cncf.io and receive confirmation of notice before pursuing | ||||
|   removal of an inactive or Organizer found to be in dereliction of duty. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| #### Escalations | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - Organizers disagreements MAY be escalated to to the TOC, CoCC or CNCF Staff | ||||
|   facilitating the Community Groups program as applicable. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| #### Other Roles | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| TCG's MAY have other roles, but they are REQUIRED to be documented in an | ||||
| easily discovered area, such as the groups's page on Bevy; the platform used | ||||
| by Community Groups. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - MUST be documented with a description, scope, and responsibilities. | ||||
| - MUST adhere to the [Technical Leadership Principles]. | ||||
| - SHOULD remain active and responsive in their roles. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| **NOTE:** Currently Technology focused groups do not have an issue template. | ||||
| These groups will require TOC approval, and will be provisioned with a GitHub | ||||
| discussion category for async communication instead of the built-in forum within | ||||
| Bevy (Community Groups backing platform). | ||||
