Selection of Members

What is involved in participating on the U4C Building Committee?

edit

Participants should be prepared to attend meetings, review relevant documents and research, and work collaboratively to draft and refine a Charter for the U4C.  The U4C Charter should define the following details about the U4C:

  • Determine the procedures, policy, and use of precedent of the U4C
  • Draft the remainder of the U4C process
  • Designate any other logistics necessary to establish the U4C
  • Help facilitate the initial election procedures for the U4C

Staff will support the Building Committee by:

  • facilitating meetings
  • taking and posting notes for the community
  • preparing documents and research as required by the Building Committee
  • facilitating community review and voting on the proposed Charter.

Following the establishment of the U4C through the work of this Building Committee, the Building Committee should dissolve. A timeline for Building Committee work is available on the Building Committee page on Meta-wiki.
