Working groups
Where the work happens
The working groups author the specifications, build and maintain the open-source software, and shape the open trust layer. Join the ones your membership grants — across every organization you belong to — and the meetings land straight in your calendar.
Working-group participation requires membership
Joining a working group requires Foundation membership. Most are open to Associate or Contributor members; the Business Cases WG requires Associate membership. Compare & join → Anyone may still use, fork, read, and file issues against the public open-source code and specifications; working-group participation and formal contributions are members-only.
