Awesome! I think the base idea is really good - just a little bit unsure as to how this gels with the K8s community definition and processes around working groups:

• https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/committee-steering/governance/wg-governance.md
• https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-wg-lifecycle.md

Would it be easier to drop the term "working group" and adopt some similar alternative to keep the lighter-weight process, but avoid confustion between this and a K8s community working group?

Another nit 🙂 - maybe this could go in /docs/community instead of /docs/proposals

[jackfrancis]

@killianmuldoon good point about the already defined k8s concept of a "working group" (which in my understanding is meant to suggest an inter-team or team-of-teams thing, and less a breakout from one particular team).

How about:

• Focus Group
• Feature Group
• Workstream Group
• Splinter Group (+1 for 80s action movie vibes)

Thanks for putting this together!
+1 to Killian comments (I kind of like Focus group for the name, but no strong preference)
just added some suggestion, but I think that it is fair also to let the group to work defining deliverables and improving communications patterns over time
