Adding a Committee

CCommittees are a great way to connect community members who have shared interests. There are common committees like governing boards and technical oversight committees, but you can also create committees for special interest groups (SIGs) or working groups to tackle specific concerns for your project community. You can add and update committee information related to the project, such as name, mailing list, committee website, permissions, and description.

To add a committee for a project, follow these:

1. Select the project from the drop-down and click the Collaboration > Committees tab.

Public Committee Name	When enabled, the public committee name will be visible to the public for LFX tools like the public meeting calendar.
Enable Voting	If your committee will require voting, check the "Enable voting" checkbox. This option may be useful for decision-making processes within the committee.
Committee Documentation/Website	Provide a URL to the committee’s documentation or website if available.
Business Email Verification	Ensure that "Business email verification" is checked if you want to verify members by their business email. This is typically checked by default. If checked, entries with email addresses from personal domains like Gmail or Yahoo will require confirmation before being saved to limit their presence in committee records

Create Committee

1. Add Members

   • Search for Members: Use the search bar to find and add members to your committee. You can search by name or email.

   • Mailing Lists: Alternatively, you can add members from existing mailing lists.

   • Manage Members: After adding members, they will appear in the list below with their name, job title, company, and email. You can manage their membership from here.

2. Once you have filled in all necessary details and added members, click the Save button at the top right corner of the page to create your committee.

When choosing mailing lists, members are imported once as committee members. Synchronization is unavailable when members are added, updated, or removed from the list. Lists with 200 members or fewer can be imported.
