- <h5>6.2.1.7 <a id="good-standing">Good Standing in a Working Group</a></h5>
- <p>Participation by an individual in a Working Group on an ongoing basis
- implies a serious commitment to the charter, including all of the
- following:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>attending most meetings of the Working Group.</li>
- <li>providing deliverables or drafts of deliverables in a timely
- fashion.</li>
- <li>being familiar with the relevant documents of the Working Group,
- including minutes of past meetings.</li>
- <li>following discussions on relevant mailing list(s).</li>
- </ul>
- <p>At the first Working Group meeting that follows any <a href="#cfp">Call
- for Participation</a>, all participants are in Good Standing. If a
- Member or Invited Expert joins the Working Group after the end of that
- meeting, the Member Representative or Invited Expert does not attain
- Good Standing until the start of the second consecutive meeting that
- individual attends.</p>
- <p>When the Chair and the <a href="#TeamContact">Team Contact</a>
- agree, the Chair <span class="rfc2119">MAY</span> declare that a
- participant is no longer in Good Standing (henceforth called "Bad
- Standing"). If there is disagreement between the Chair and the Team
- Contact about standing, the Director determines the participant's
- standing. The Chair <span class="rfc2119">MAY</span> declare a Team
- participant to be in Bad Standing, but it is clearly preferable for
- the Chair, Team participant, and W3C management to resolve issues
- internally.</p>
- <p>A participant <span class="rfc2119">MAY</span> be declared in Bad
- Standing in any of the following circumstances:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>the individual has missed more than one of the last three <a href="#distributed-meeting">distributed
- meetings</a>.</li>
- <li>the individual has missed more than one of the last three <a href="#ftf-meeting">face-to-face
- meetings</a>.</li>
- <li>the individual has not provided deliverables in a timely fashion
- twice in sequence.</li>
- <li>the individual has not followed the <a href="#coi">conflict of
- interest policy</a> by disclosing information to the rest of the
- group.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Although all participants representing an organization <span class="rfc2119">SHOULD</span>
- attend all meetings, attendance by one representative of an
- organization satisfies the meeting attendance requirement for all
- representatives of the organization.</p>
- <p>The above criteria <span class="rfc2119">MAY</span> be relaxed if
- the Chair and Team Contact agree that doing so will not set back the
- Working Group. For example, the attendance requirement can be relaxed
- for reasons of expense (e.g., cost of travel) or scheduling (for
- example, an exceptional teleconference is scheduled at 3:00 a.m. local
- time for the participant). It is the responsibility of the Chair and
- Team Contact to apply criteria for Good Standing consistently.</p>
- <p>When a participant risks losing Good Standing, the Chair and Team
- Contact are expected to discuss the matter with the participant and
- the participant's Advisory Committee representative (or W3C management
- for the Team) before declaring the participant in Bad Standing.</p>
- <p>The Chair declares a participant in Bad Standing by informing the
- participant's Advisory Committee representative and the participant of
- the decision. If the Advisory Committee representative and Chair
- differ in opinion, the Advisory Committee representative <span class="rfc2119">MAY</span>
- ask the <a href="#def-Director">Director</a> to confirm or deny the
- decision. <a href="#invited-expert-wg">Invited Experts</a> declared
- in Bad Standing <span class="rfc2119">MAY</span> appeal to the
- Director.</p>
- <p>The Chair and Team Contact restore Good Standing and <span class="rfc2119">SHOULD</span>
- do so when the individual in Bad Standing satisfies the above
- criteria. The Chair <span class="rfc2119">MUST</span> inform the
- individual's Advisory Committee representative of any change in
- standing.</p>
- <p>When a Member representative permanently replaces another (i.e., is
- not simply a temporary <a href="#mtg-substitute">substitute</a>), the
- new participant inherits the standing of the departing participant.</p>
- <p>Changes in an individual's standing in a Working Group have no effect
- on the obligations associated with Working Group participation that
- are described in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy">W3C
- Patent Policy</a> [<a href="#ref-patentpolicy">PUB33</a>].</p>
- <p><strong>Note:</strong> In general, the time commitment for
- participating in an Interest Group is less than that for a Working
- Group; see the section on <a href="#ig-charter-participation">participation
- provisions in an Interest Group charter</a>.</p>
