Volunteers and roles in four parts.
No role is listed yet.
A role appears here only when its tasks, terms and supervisor are in place. Registering interest is not an application and creates no role.
What a role states.
- 01
Tasks and limits

- 02
Time
The expected hours and for how long.
- 03
Supervision and support
Who supervises, and the support and safeguards that apply.
- 04
Selection
The criteria and who decides, recorded with the decision.
- 05
Conflicts
Interests are declared before selection; a person with a conflict on a matter steps back from it.
How the process runs.
Process
Volunteers and roles: Working group, charter to sunset
A working group is chartered by record for a fixed timebox, delivers bounded assignments, drafts and recommends, then dissolves unless renewed; it does not adopt.
01 Form
- 01NLC proposes the groupDecision · National Leadership CouncilThe NLC proposes working groups and nominates chairs, editors and experts from its leadership pools. It does not charter.
- 02Charter by recordDecision · National Standards CouncilA working group is chartered by record for a timebox of at most twenty-four months. The charter sets its scope, roles and decision rule.
- 03Members join by competenceStep · MembersExperts, practitioners, students and volunteers join by competence. Members declare interests and recuse on conflict.
02 Work
- 04Workplan from the national agendaStepAssignments come from the national agenda and the year’s missions. Each states the competence it needs and how the work will be reviewed.
- 05Drafts and deliverables, delivered monthlyRecordGroups deliver monthly. For standards they draft the national profile and deviation register and run national public comment and pilots.
03 Review
- 06Contribution record and reviewGateEach contribution is recorded and reviewed. A working group drafts and recommends; it does not adopt.
- 07Recognition follows the recordRecordContribution records are kept, so that recognition follows the record.
- 08National adoption is decided elsewhereDecision · National Standards CouncilThe National Standards Council decides the adoption mode and the national profile. The working group proposes and never decides.
04 Close
- 09Dissolved by default, or renewed by recordDecision · National Standards CouncilA group is dissolved by default at the end of the timebox. The National Standards Council renews or closes it, on the NLC’s proposal.
National Working Groups · National Standards Council · Decision rightsDesigned programme process, not a record of operation. No cycle has run and every programme is at service level R0. A gate is a programme decision, never a public-authority approval, certification or deployment authorisation. No working group is constituted. The charter rules belong to the proposed Nexus Standards working model.
