1. Introduction
...
Hyperledger SIGs are open and global communities where anyone from anywhere can and should be able to participate, contribute, and access tools and information. For example, this means that even with meetings that are held via teleconference, we have to involve those not on the calls who are online. Best practice in an open and global community is to keep in mind time zone differences of the group participants and make sure to include non-meeting participants in group discussions and decisions by active use of the mailing list, the wiki and Rocket Chatour Discord channel. All SIGs must adhere to the Hyperledger Code of Conduct and Anti-Trust Policy (see below) during meetings:
...
FMSIG membership shall be free and open to members of the community who have an interest in issues as they relate to the SIG topic technologies in general, and blockchain technologies. SIG membership is established by subscription to the mailing list.
All participation in the groups activities is voluntary. It is perfectly fine to listen in to a group and do nothing. Of course active contribution is our goal, but it is not a requirement for membership.
Anyone can propose agenda items, activities, and work products. In work products, the only requirement is there's enough buy-in from community members to want to volunteer to complete the product.
7.2 Governance
Governance of the FMSIG shall be managed through its membership in accordance with the guidelines and overriding jurisdiction of Hyperledger leadership.
...
Facilitating the group and helping ensure that the mission statement and goals are observed and met
Scheduling and facilitating regular General Meetings open to all FMSIG membership
Developing and distributing meeting agendas at least one business day before the scheduled meeting
Ensuring that all group members have the opportunity to participate in decisions and provide input even when not attending a meeting. SIG communities are global and a chair should make efforts to ensure all are included in the community’s activities. This can be done by ensuring meeting notes are shared after calls and any major decisions are shared on the mailing list.
Ensure recordings/minutes are taken during meetings which captures the discussion and includes a list of meeting participants, shared post meeting, and are added to the SIG wiki page
Manage the SIG wiki page
Generate Special Interest Group Quarterly Updates to present to Hyperledger POC in a timely manner and communicate regularly on any concerns or questions related to the SIG
Serving as a proxy and ambassador for FMSIG membership (as appropriate)
Enforcing adherence to the Hyperledger Code of Conduct and communicating the Anti-Trust Policy
...
All FMSIG membership meetings are placed on the Hyperledger Community Calendar. To ensure that a cancelled meeting is removed from the calendar, the person leading the meeting shall send a meeting cancellation request to zoom@hyperledger.org.
Additionally, a meeting cancellation notification shall be made to FMSIG membership through both the mailing list and chat channels.
