Adding a Committee
Creating a committee allows you to connect community members with shared interests. 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, perform the following steps:
Select the project from the drop-down, and click the Collaboration > Committees tab.
Click the Add Committee button from the top right corner of the COMMITTEES page.
The Create Committee page appears. Enter the following details on the Create Committee page, and click Save to create a committee.
Field | Action |
Committee Name | Enter the name of your committee. This is a required field. |
Description | Describe the committee. Add a committee description, outlining its purpose, goals, and other relevant information. |
Type | Select the type of committee from the dropdown menu. This could be a governing board, technical oversight committee, SIG, or another type. This is also a required field. |
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. |
Add Members
Search for Members: Use the search bar to find and add members to your committee. You can search by name, job title, company, 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.
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. Continuous synchronization is unavailable when members are added, updated, or removed from the list. Only lists with 200 members or fewer can be imported.
