| 3 | = Goal = | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | The goal of this working group is to research, clarify, and document the process by which the Open Source Definition (OSD) can be updated. A secondary goal is to better understand and document what other information besides the OSD the OSI relies on to certify a license. //The working group does not intend to propose any changes to the OSD itself.// | ||

| 28 | = Deliverable that will be created = | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | //What will be the output/takeaway/resource created by this Working Group?// | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | * A process for submitting, approving, and possibly appealing changes to the OSD (possibly including a distinction between substantive changes and minor, editorial ones). | ||
| 33 | * A suggested implementation of that process using GitHub/GitLab/a self hosted Git server. | ||
| 34 | * A suggested versioning/release scheme (or deliberate lack thereof; the tip of the main branch is the //de facto// standard, “living standard” style). | ||
| 35 | * A set of recommendations about documentation of additional requirements (precedents / “case law”), to become OSI certified and a process to amend this documentation. | ||
| 36 | * Clarify the licensing terms of the OSD itself. | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | = Description of how that deliverable satisfies a part of OSI's mission = | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | //Please review the OSI mission and then provide how this effort will align with the OSI's mandate.// | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | Formalize the process around maintaining the OSD. Improves transparency and fairness. | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | = Target completion date = | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | //When will you have something that can be used. Please note that the Working Group may continue on to enhance or add new outputs, however a date must be provided indicating when a usable resource will be available to the OSI community.// | ||
| 47 | \\6 months after approval of the WG for a draft process to be submitted to the Board. | ||
