Change WGs to always be part of a TAG

[RichiH]

[RichiH]

This needs review/discussion, in particular on the proposed structure of listing WGs.

@RichiH could we please incorporate all the feedback so far and switch from Draft? thanks!

Discussed in the 08/16/2022 TOC meeting:

• It would be great to have something like K8s SIGs for the CNCF https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sigs.yaml
• It would also be good to clarify either if the TOC needs to approve WGs in the TAG or the TAG has autonomy to create the WGs. Or if there are some cases where the TOC would need to review the approval.

It would also be good to clarify either if the TOC needs to approve WGs in the TAG or the TAG has autonomy to create the WGs. Or if there are some cases where the TOC would need to review the approval.

I had previously read what's below to imply that there were 2 classes/levels of WG. CNCF Working Groups ("TOC level"), and TAG created WG's.

TOC Working Groups

https://github.com/cncf/toc/tree/main/workinggroups

Working Groups can be formed at any time but must be sponsored by a TOC member and voted with a super majority vote by the CNCF TOC. The TOC can also shut down a working group with a super majority vote.

TAG Working Groups

https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/tags/cncf-tags.md#responsibilities--empowerment-of-tags

TAGs may choose to spawn focused and time-limited working groups to achieve some of their responsibilities (for example, to produce a specific educational white paper, or portfolio gap analysis report). Working groups should have a clearly documented charter, timeline (typically a few quarters at most), and set of deliverables. Once the timeline has elapsed, or the deliverables delivered, the working group dissolves, or is explicitly re-chartered.

• Are there actually 2 types of WG (or were there ever)?
• Is the intent to have 1 type moving forward?

We are trying to see which groups are still active here - https://github.com/cncf/toc/pull/911

@RichiH do you have bandwidth to drive this to completion?
