* **In Scope:** A bulleted list of what this WG is responsible for.
* *Example: Managing the project's CI/CD systems.*
* *Example: Owning and maintaining the `project/infra` code repository.*
* *Example: Defining and enforcing data backup and recovery policies.*
* **Out of Scope:** A bulleted list of what this WG is explicitly *not* responsible for, to prevent ambiguity.

### 3. Governance and Decision Making
* **Decision-Making Process:** How does the WG make decisions?
* *Example: "Decisions are made by lazy consensus. Proposals are posted to the mailing list for 72 hours. If no objections are raised, the proposal is accepted. If there are objections, a formal vote is held during the next meeting, requiring a simple majority to pass."*
* **Conflict Resolution:** How are disagreements handled?
* *Example: "Disagreements are first discussed within the WG. If a consensus cannot be reached, the WG Chair makes the final call. Decisions can be appealed to the project's Steering Committee."*
### 4. Membership and Roles
* **Joining:** How does someone become a member?
* *Example: "Membership is open to any contributor who has had at least 3 non-trivial pull requests merged within the WG's owned repositories. Prospective members can be nominated by an existing member at a WG meeting."*
* **Member Responsibilities:** What is expected of members?
* *Example: Attend at least 50% of scheduled meetings per quarter.*
* *Example: Actively participate in discussions, code reviews, and bug triage.*
* **Roles and Responsibilities:**
* **Chair/Lead:** [Define how the Chair is selected, their term length, and their duties, e.g., running meetings, representing the WG].
* **Tech Lead:** [Define how the Tech Lead is selected and their duties, e.g., setting technical direction, approving major architectural changes].
* **Stepping Down:** How does a member leave the WG?
* *Example: "Members may step down at any time by notifying the WG Chair. Inactive members who do not meet participation requirements for two consecutive quarters will be moved to emeritus status."*
