Objective owners

Reporting

[[DWG7]] shall be reporting to the [[Co-Chairs]] and the [[Strategic Board]] of the [[UN Open GIS Initiative]]. In practice, [[DWG7]] is reporting to the [[UN Open GIS Initiative]] through [[monthly meetings]].

How we operate

We consider [[DWG7]] as an open global practice [[community]] and take a federated approach; participants bring their high-level objectives with clearly defined owners and success criteria to get all the [[DWG]] members on the same page. Participants will get opportunities to share their progress within [[DWG]] and also to the [[UN Open GIS Initiative]] through its [[monthly meetings]].

Community promises

  1. We treat people as equals. Everyone is welcome.
  2. We prefer open collaboration.
  3. Contributions are esteemed by their merit.
  4. We respect [[data producers]].
  5. We criticize ideas, not people.
  6. We believe in [[fail forward]] to learn and improve.

Ground rules as a part of community promises

  1. We move by [[empathy]] and [[trust]], not by requests.
  2. It is OK to use a local language. It is nice to use a common language.
