Revision as of 08:53, 29 November 2011

A Working Group (WG) is defined as a group of individuals or experts in a particular field who came together to achieve specific objectives. Different organizations like the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers and the Internet Engineering Task Force created different working groups to accomplish specific purposes. Based on RFC 2418, Working Groups are created to address specific problem or to produce one or more specific deliverables such as guidelines, standards or specifications. Working groups operate for a short period of time, generally upon completion of its goal. Its term may also be terminated for any other reason.^[1]

Organizations like IETF, ICANN etc. determine if there is a need or if it is appropriate to create a working group in order to resolve certain issues. Any organization provides guidelines and defines the criteria in establishing a working group. Every working group has a charter, which serves as an agreement between the working group and the organization. It contains the specific assignments of the working group that needs to be fulfilled.

ICANN's supporting organizations have different working groups tasked to address or resolve different issues. The [[GNSO|Generic Names Supporting Organization] created guidelines for working groups to be able to deliver productive and effective results.^[2]
