Working Group
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. The term of any working group is for a short period of time, generally upon completion of its goal or for any other reason.[1]
Organizations determines there is a need or it is appropriate to create a working group in order to resolve certain issues. The organization define the different 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. For instance on June 12 1999, ICANN's DNSO Names Council created Working Group A. Its objective was to examine Chapter 3 of the recommendations of the WIPO regarding the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy.[2]
