Hi folks - finally got back around to this! thx for your patience.

I’ve taken some steps to align the Principles from our group with [the output from the Governance Readiness workgroup](https://discourse.sustainoss.org/t/governance-readiness-working-group/298/51), which I think are different aspects of the same idea.

The Governance Readiness group articulated a bunch of questions that could be compiled in a checklist to help open source community deliberation. I finally found time to go through those questions and see how they align with the principles from this group – and the matrix of principles vis a vis layers of resources that we began drafting in January.

See [the result here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ya_flgj83ki46genn2b-QiXPxMrDrqjmTgmKIWJgLu4/edit#gid=0), and in [a table in our original source document as well](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OLjzRT9u-vjswnVj4AVYtmI8-eYkQPszigkYEkzcH-k/edit#heading=h.beg34j7lxamm).

Moving forward, I’m eager to hear feedback – does this alignment seem to make sense? Both in the aims/outputs of the two workgroups, and also on a topical basis? How can this be made more useful, and how should we iterate on it?

Thanks! greg
