Topic on Talk:Special Interest Groups/Flow

During the last TechCom meeting, we briefly discussed this document, and wondered whether TechCom counts as a SIG under the framework provided here. I think it does, though it's worth pointing out that TechCom's relationship with the CTO makes it somewhat special.

Was the intention to include TechCom in this framework? Would TechCom count as a good example of a SIG? Or is it rather an odd, border-line case in your opinion?

TechCom could certainly choose to identify and operate as a SIG. There was no intent in the description of this framework to force any existing group to adopt the process. There is also no intent to force any future group to adopt the framework. Instead the intent to to provide an option for people looking to form a group or reform the processes of an existing group an example of a framework that could be followed and hopefully to iteratively refine that framework as it is used by more groups.
