Section 2.2. Working Group Member Roles and Responsibilities

The following is a description of standard WG roles. Typically the Charter will 
outline the desired qualities and skills a WG Chair should possess, the role 
and name of the official liaison to the Chartering Organization, and any key 
Staff or other experts assigned to the WG. Any additional roles that are not 
included here should be listed in the WG Charter, including a description and 
minimal set of functions / duties to the extent that the chartering 
organization might wish to specify them.

A suggested procedure to conduct elections can be:

·     Nominations or self-nominations;

·     Statements of qualifications from candidates

·     Vote by simple majority;

·     Notification of and subsequent confirmation by the Chartering 
Organization of results of actions.

MO: Replace this sentence In section 2.2: “Statements of qualifications from 
candidates” with: “Statements of qualifications from candidates that describes 
their ability to fulfill the role (described in Section 2.2) and meet the 
expectations of the job (described Section 6.1.3)”

RySG: While Paragraph 2.2 sets out the responsibilities and functions of the 
typical Working Group roles, the RySG suggests that it may be helpful if the 
Guidelines go further and provide some minimal criteria around the necessary 
skills and qualities for the Chair, Vice Chairs etc. In particular, since the 
CO has to approve the Chair, it would be helpful if the CO was able to base its 
approval decision on some specific criteria.

GD: Sections 2.2 and 2.3 further expand the definition of these roles, and 
outline the nature of sub-teams.  We recommend that the PPSC WG-WT provide some 
guidance that requires working group leaders and sub-team members be familiar 
or have subject matter expertise in the areas to be addressed by the working 
group and/or sub-team.
