# Liaisons
Steering Committee members are elected representatives of the Kubernetes
project contributor base. Its important that we make sure ensure a good
flow of governance information and feedback loops to and from the
groups. With over 35 community groups and 100+ leads, it can be hard to
connect for communitywide consensus and to help with this, each group
is assigned a Steering Committee liaison.
Leads may call on liaisons to act as a point of contact from Steering,
be an advisor for governance or community health matters, and kick
things off and consult throughout the process for [annual reports](committee-steering/governance/annual-reports.md).
Liaisons do not make decisions for the community group or on behalf of
the Steering Committee.
Liaisons are assigned community groups at random (adjustments can be
made, if needed) with each member having an (almost) equal distribution
of SIGs and WGs. Each year after Steering Committee elections, new
members will assume one of the departing members groups.

## Expectations
### Liaison will:
- Alert leads the Annual Report process is starting, expectations, and timeline
- Check-ins with their groups at least once a quarter. This could mean a group DM
with Chairs, a visit to a group meeting, or some other connection. Get a pulse
on health of the following:
- Contributor base
- Chairs and other leads: How are they?
- Contributors, reviewers, approvers: How are they?
- Newcomers: able to efficiently join and contribute?
- Operational Health
- Transparency of meetings and decision processes (eg: published meeting
agendas, minutes, and video recordings)
- Communication best practices for shared status and decision making across
a WG and its sponsor SIG(s) and a SIG and its subprojects
- Provide consultation on how to improve operational health
- Gap Analysis
- Where is the group now and where do they want/need to be?
- Act as conduit for incoming cross-cutting deliverables requirements, such as
ones relative to test, infra, org, docs, etc.
- Check that sustainability is a priority.
- What is the group doing to ensure contributions are sustainable?
- What does the group need in order to keep things going?
- Are there areas of concern?
- Update Steering Committee keep the Steering Committee in the loop and keep
track of trackable (ie: not sensitive) work in public issues.
- Advise on funding matters - how to request and other inquiries
- Connect leads to whatever they need, when they ask. (if possible!)
### Liaisons should:
- Communicate with their groups on important business that happens at Steering
level (via our meetings, etc) in order for Steering to achieve a pulse on the
work we are doing and acknowledge governance changes.
- Example: if Steering is crafting a new policy, check in with the chairs to
see how it would fare with their groups.
