Since this table contains non-LTS releases, though not fully documented, how about Release Schedule?
Or perhaps at this point a general Release table would be in order since this WG would now be responsible for all releases?

Currently the LTS responsibilities fall into two categories:
- Determining the LTS release schedule
- Deciding what goes into the LTS releases
The backporting team handles item 2. Both the release team and backporting teams can share responsibility for 1, meaning that we really only need two teams: backporting and release, who work together on the schedule.

this is the README.md for the repo. The charter the smaller section that defines its purpose and scope. Once that's agreed it will go into the doc in the CTC defining the WG's scope. We can chose to move the LTS plan out of the README.md for the repo but I don't think thats tied to chartering the WG.

I believe that using the standard delegation of responsibility from the CTC to the WG that is correct. As a final measure the CTC could dissolve the WG in order to take back responsibility if the WG is not acting in accordance with the CTC's vision.

Yep, generally we've always operated on the model that the person actually doing the release has the final say about what is included in the release. The CTC may decide to include something, but if the releaser finds an issue that would block the release, they should have the freedom to omit it until the issue is resolved.

This puts the Release Working Group above the CTC. If it is the Release WG that can decide what composes a release, they can decide (autonomously) to pull a semver-major commit they do not agree with from a semver-major release. In similar fashion, they can decide to put something in that is not present in nodejs/node.
All of this is very hypothetical, but hypothetical things happened before so I would like to avoid conflicts before they happen.
I do agree that the current model is the right model and they should be able to omit things, but this sentence is too broad.
How about:
Content for all releases, according to the contributions in nodejs/node and semver levels.
I hope it clarifies what I mean.

@mcollina that is the explicit intention, and true of all WGs (as I understand it). See @mhdawson 's comment at #223 (comment). The CTC delegates to the Release WG on the matter of what goes in releases. If its unhappy about what the WG does, it has power to dissolve the WG. If CTC members have strong feelings about what the Release WG should do... they should join the WG. In your example, if a commit is pulled because the WG doesn't agree with its content (as opposed to it not passing CI, not backporting clean, or some other reason involving the release process), the WG would be overstepping its bounds, and I assume the CTC would dissolve it.

Agreed on dissolving. However if we consider other WGs, this WG will have the responsibility to what is Node in the hand of our users, this is very different to most of the other WGs.
... the WG would be overstepping its bounds ...
Yes, exactly. I'm just pointing it out that those bounds are not written here. It might not be on this point, but a generic mention to them would be welcomed, maybe at the top.

Again, my understanding (but I can be wrong on this) is that it is the same as most WGs. Streams has final authority about what goes into readable_stream
, for example. You've never done anything objectionable, so there has never been conflict, and no one expects there to be, but its the streams WG who decides on what happens with streams. Maybe the WG charters need to change to saying that anything they decide can be overruled by a vote of CTC without dissolving the WG?

Seems like a similar problem that other WGs have—how do you define contributions and how should that be measured to determine membership? Many of them are just "you join enough meetings, hang around and offer to lend a hand where needed and you can join" (Build is a bit like this), or simply just "want to join? sure!". Have we solved this wording anywhere else in our WGs that we can reapply here because the core rules don't seem to apply.

We have the same wording in the benchmarking WG, the post-mortem WG, Intl, the now inactive test WG used similar wording.
Not a WG but one which is different is the community committee, which uses the participation rules. Basically get involved and once you meet the participation rules you will be added. The rules are:
In the case where an individual CC member -- within any three month period -- attends fewer than 25% of the regularly scheduled meetings, does not participate in CC discussions, and does not participate in CC votes, the member shall be automatically removed from the CC. The member may be invited to continue attending CC meetings as an observer.
In my opinion the existing wording is pretty generic in that "significant" can be determined by the WG and I don't think there have been problems with people asking to be added/getting refused.
So I'm open to a better suggestion if someone has one but I'm also fine with what we have already.

Sorry, I did make comments for review but didn't complete it to push them as requesting changes so I guess they didn't show up. The "making significant contributions" thing is a problem, not a blocker but my preference would be to sort out how one qualifies for membership in a WG such as this ASAP. |
To make sure they are seen: on the from of qualifications for WG membership: We have the same wording in the benchmarking WG, the post-mortem WG, Intl, the now inactive test WG used similar wording. Not a WG but one which is different is the community committee, which uses the participation rules. Basically get involved and once you meet the participation rules you will be added.

The member may be invited to continue attending CC meetings as an observer. So I'm open to a better suggestion if someone has one but I'm also fine with what we have already. |
Addressed comments minus new wording for qualifications for WG membership. I'd prefer if we handled that in a follow on PR. |
@mhdawson The TSC has a process for chartering workgroups but as far as I know the CTC does not have a documented process. (Correction welcome, of course.) So this (IMO) should be treated like any other CTC decision: If CTC folks have approved, no one has objected, and a sufficient period of time has passed, then we're all good. Since you did just push some changes 5 hours ago, it would probably be considerate to @-mention CTC and say something like "I've made some changes to address all outstanding nits. I think this is ready to land. PTAL. I'll land this after XX:XX UTC time on SuchAndSuchDay if there are no objections." IMO we should avoid voting unless explicitly required by our governance docs and/or all other options have been exhausted. So I'm happy to see this pass through consensus and not have to go to a vote. |
Looks like I'm kinda sorta wrong in that the main repo WORKING_GROUPS.md links to the TSC version saying the process is the same. But it doesn't require a vote explicitly either. So I think we're good. If anyone disagrees and wants to make this a formal vote, I'll defer to that. But IMO we don't need to do that. |
@Trott thanks. I'll wait until tomorrow to see if @Fishrock123 or @rvagg have objections to landing before we close on the discussion about qualifications, otherwise I'll follow the suggestion you made for notification/warning. |
@nodejs/ctc "I've made some changes to address all outstanding nits. I think this is ready to land. PTAL. I'll land this after 12 EST on Tuesday Aug 22nd if there are no objections." |

In the last LTS meeting we discussed chartering the LTS workgroup as a merger of the current LTS and Release teams.
This is a first cut at the governance doc for that.
If it move forward, I'll take content from the mandate section in the README.md to add to https://github.com/nodejs/CTC/blob/master/WORKING_GROUPS.md
Needs input from the members of the release team who are not part of the LTS group as this may be the first time the concept has been been suggested to them.
