Working groups have '''responsibilities''' and accompanying '''bounded discretion''' to meet those responsibilities. Conversely, in order to exercise the power implied by the discretion of a working group, a member should take some part in the work of the group's responsibilities: if one wants to second guess the work of a working group, a member should either be doing some of that work, or else be willing to describe how that work should be done differently as part of a structured proposal. | Working groups have '''responsibilities''' and accompanying '''bounded discretion''' to meet those responsibilities.

* How it decides its membership or decides who gets any sort of privileged access or power | |||
* What specific responsibilities the group has | |||
* What the bounds on its discretionary activity are | |||
