Nikhita Raghunath 9bd17e7647 working groups: add process for creating new WGs in a TAG 
The whole process needs to be revamped as part of https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/1158.
There was some work that was started as part of https://github.com/cncf/toc/pull/868,
but the PR has languished.

This PR keeps the existing process and defines a lightweight process for
creation of new WGs in a TAG. This mirrors the process we follow today.

CNCF Working Groups

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

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

You will also have to present to the CNCF TOC and wider community before your WG proposal will be voted upon by the TOC and community. You can request a presentation by filing an issue here: https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues

At a minimum, please include this information:

  • Goals
  • Non-goals
  • Mailing list information
  • The location of meetings / agenda / notes
  • Initial interested parties to show that there are multiple people across multiple orgs interested
  • The chair(s) and TOC sponsor being explicitly listed so they are discoverable

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.
