Starting a group at DIF

Contact: [email protected]

Decide the group type

First, decide which group type is appropriate for your needs:

  • Working Group: IPR-protected group that produces technical specifications or other artifacts. Participants must be DIF members.
  • Special Interest Group: Open group serving as a cooperative space to align on common areas of interest and encourage ideation
  • User Group: Open group consisting of users interested in a DIF codebase

It's also possible that your idea can be accomplished as a work item in an existing group. See Participation for more details.

Fill out and submit a charter proposal

  1. Select the appropriate template from DIF's Charter Templates and make a copy so you can edit it.
  2. Fill out the proposal
  3. Email to [email protected]

DIF approval

DIF staff will work with the steering committee to get approval, and will contact you if there are any questions.

Provide information needed for launching the group

After approval, DIF staff will contact you requesting the final information needed to set up the group. Copy and fill out this form template and return it to DIF.

Group launch

Your group is now ready to be launched. DIF staff will coordinate with you as needed.

See Working Group Lifecycle for additional context.
