How To Propose a New Working Group

First read the Working Group Guidelines. To create a Working Group wiki, follow the instructions below. If you do not have write access, please contact wikiadmin@informationcard.net.

1. Edit the table in this page to create a location to link to the Working Group plan you will create.
2. Add "['[Your Working Group Page Name]']"
3. Start the new wiki page by copying WG Application Template
4. Add your name, link, and short description to the "Proposed Working Groups" table above.

Note that some ICF activities do not require a formal working group to proceed. In particular, if IPR (intellectual property rights) are not involved, you may self-organize any effort, for example to create a deliverable such as a white paper. Only deliverable requiring official ICF recognition require ICF board approval.
