Governance Readiness Working Group

I think we can. The tool has a category for Governance with the following answer options:

Score 0 : Does not meet Score 1 criteria

Score 1 : The project maintains a public list of its leadership.

Score 2 : The project’s leadership roster clearly states the roles and responsibilities of each leader.

Score 3 : There is documentation of how decisions are made within the project and how conflicts are resolved.

Score 4 : The project has clear and documented opportunities to move into leadership roles which are available to all contributors. There is documentation of how leadership transitions are to be managed. Key information for effective governance of the project is managed such that there is no single point of failure.

Score 5 : The project maintains an active pipeline of potential new leaders for the project, including succession planning and a clear outline of back-up support for all key leadership roles.

I think Governance here is particularly focused on leadership and transparency of control. Maybe we can have a conversation with Gina about adapting the Governance scoring to also include other areas of Governance?
