| This is a proposed template for a Community Group Charter. We recommend that Community Groups have charters as a way to build shared understanding within a group about activities, and to attract new participants who appreciate a clear description of the group's scope and deliverables. | | This [https://github.com/w3c/cg-charter template is now managed on GitHub]. |
| | |
| == Goals ==
| |
| | |
| * What is the mission of the group?
| |
| | |
| == Scope of Work ==
| |
| * Mention topics that are in scope
| |
| * Mention topics known in advance to be out of scope
| |
| | |
| == Deliverables ==
| |
| | |
| * In addition to listing deliverables, it can be useful to provide an initial schedule
| |
| | |
| == Decision process ==
| |
| | |
| Recommended text:

| * "This group will seek to make decisions when there is consensus. When the Chair puts a question and observes dissent, after due consideration of different opinions, the Chair should record a decision and any objections. Participants may request a vote in this case if they feel the Chair has not accurately determined the consensus of the group. If there is additional support for the call for a vote, the Chair will call for a vote and the decision will be based on the majority vote. It is the Chair’s responsibility to ensure that the decision process is fair, respects the consensus of the CG, and does not unreasonably favor or discriminate against any group participant or their employer."

| '''Note:'''
| |
| | |
| * If your decision process is ''not'' consensus-based, it is important to indicate that clearly, and to describe the decision process you will use.
| |
| | |
| == Dependencies or Liaisons ==
| |
| | |
| * Are there any significant dependencies on other groups (inside or outside W3C) or materials?
