## Summary
The room where it happens. This hybrid event hosted at The Alan Turing Institute will see existing and incipient UK TRE Community Working Groups officially set up and in their way to success.
The day will start with a presentation of the governance processes for working groups within the community, recently ratified by the community after presentation in the Community event on 14 March.
Working groups will then breakout to complete their own charters and define their remit and goals.
After lunch there will be a workshop where each working group will be supported in further establishing themselves. This will include setting up their spaces and communication channels, plans, stakeholder mapping and anything else the Community can offer.
Along the day there will also be ample opportunity for socialising over coffee and lunch.
### Aim
- To have all working groups attending formally defined
- 1st and foremost, after this session informally existing WGs and not yet existent ones will be formally added as UK TRE Community Working Groups
- To feedback and stress test the working group governance processes
- Having finalised v1 of governance processes, go through it with every working group in the room (Community approval might be pending if that is a step)
- To explicitly define the expected support from the community
- What support is needed?
- What can be offered?
- To have working groups set up by the end of the day
- Precise goals and remit
- Ways of working: expected pace and format of meetings
- Main space (own repo, slack channel, mailing list...).
- High level stakeholder map, within and without community (People, Orgs...)
## Logistics
- When: TBD - could be w/c 22 April, first half of May
- Location: London, Turing office (enigma?)
- Number of people: WG members
- Resources required:
- Catering
- Conference equipment for hybrid (organise separate discussions/groups)
- Stationery: big sheets, pen, easel?
