[Python-cuba] [PSF-Board] Recognition of new working group

[kirby urner]

Here's my first shot.  Invite adding more, yet keeping it simple so we
don't get hung up on this simple step.
Purpose & Common Goals

To help connect Pythonistas in Cuba with the PSF in terms of providing
resources and support to User Groups and Events, such as Pycons or PyDays
in Cuba.

Active Time

The workgroup will consider disbanding after a few Python-related events in
Cuba occur smoothly, with PSF participation and support.  Our job will be
done then.

Core Values & Internal Governance

The group will abide by the guidelines of the PSF when it comes to advising
others as to its stipulations regarding use of trademarks the PSF works to
protect.

Rules & Decision Making Procedures

The working group may draw up memoranda of intent conveying plans to
provide support which may require PSF Board approval.  We will move forward
by consensus punctuated by periods of brainstorming and free-wheeling
debate.

Communication Plan

The working group takes the form of a mail-man listserv within Python.org.
It has a public archive.  One joins by approval of the moderator.

List of Participants/Who we are

David Mertz is the moderator.  Other members of the group are currently:
....  One does not need to be a member of the PSF, voting or otherwise, in
order to join the working group.  We may seek to invite guest subscribers
to share expert advice and perspectives.

Support Requirements Simply a mail-man listserv in the Python.org domain
with a public archive and a public listing as a Working Group.

*WG vs SIG?*

I am curious what charter is required simply for a listserv, such as
i18n at python.org -- what is the difference between a SIG and a Working Group
I wonder.

Part of the reason I ask is there's been some talk of a psf-community to
allow public engagement in our electronic voting (e-voting) experiments,
something the PSF is engaged in of intrinsic interest to voters everywhere.

I was thinking in terms of evote-sig or psf-elections-sig more as a
listserv than as a working group and need to learn more about the
difference.
