# 1.26 SIG Channel Outreach Instructions

You should plan to reach out **during the last week of September (starting 9/25)**.  This outreach will serve as a final reminder for each SIG to opt in any more enhancements for the release.

### Steps to follow:


**Step 1:** Take a look at the below SIG assignment to see which SIGs you will be responsible for reaching out to on Slack.

**Ryler:**
sig-api-machinery
sig-apps
sig-architecture
sig-auth
sig-autoscaling

**Atharva:**
sig-cli
sig-cloud-provider
sig-cluster-lifecycle
sig-contributor-experience

**Mark:**
sig-docs
sig-instrumentation
sig-k8s-infra
sig-multicluster
sig-network

**Parul:**
sig-node
sig-release
sig-scalability
sig-scheduling
sig-security

**Ruheena:**
sig-storage
sig-testing
sig-ui
sig-usability
sig-windows

**Step 2:** Go to the [Github Tracking Board](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/projects/98/views/1) and see if the SIG has any enhancements on the board by looking at the SIG labels.

**If a SIG has no opted-in enhancements, they are a non-participating SIG.**

**If a SIG has 1 or more enhancements opted in, they are a participating SIG.  If they are participating, you'll need to count up the number of enhancements they have opted in for the release, and the number that are `at-risk`**

**Step 3:** Find the SIG channel on Slack and send the following message to the channel depending on whether the SIG is participating or non-participating. 

**If the SIG is particpating:**
```
