Jumping rrrrrright in 
Looking at Working Groups v1.1 a few initial questions come to mind. I’m really drilling in for specificity here.
On What are the core problem(s) you want to solve today?
It’d be great to get more specific here, i.e.
- Is disconnect with our community really a problem today? How is that showing up? Likewise for “failure to leverage.”
- What specific organizational inefficiencies do you notice?
- How are we ineffective with our identification/utilization/retention of top people?
On How will you address it
- If you had to boil it down all the initiatives to top 5 in terms of impact, what would those 5 be?
On What impact will this project have
- I appreciate the idea that a variety KPIs may rise if this WG is successful. However, it will be tough to link, “Identification of people needs” with “increase in unit supply” for example.
- So, what are some specific outcomes you can focus on driving? i.e. # of new engineering contributors retained
I am voting “AGAINST”** for the time being given these initial outstanding questions.
Important side note -- Private Polls
As a general rule of thumb, i suggest all working group proposals make polls like this private in order to encourage both FORs and AGAINSTs to make themselves known.
I believe that private polls lead to a more accurate reflection of community sentiment.
