Collaboration with the IG and WG

  • We will agree on it separately from the charter
  • Goals of the collaboration
    • CG can bring use cases and increase the outreach of WoT
    • A single public image of WoT (Webpage, Social Media, etc.)
    • Easier inclusion of non-members to the Plugfests

Feedback

Michael and Philipp: We can let the IG and CG coexist and see which venue fits which activity better
