Being a participant involves commitment to support the work of the task force in the following ways:
- Engage actively in the work using the task force’s communication channels.
- Keep up with weekly tasks and the progress of the work — for example, via the minutes of past meetings, mailing list discussions, and GitHub issue comments.
