About the CWG
As our Charter states “The mission of the Community Working Group (CWG) is to uphold the WordPress maintenance support plans Code of Conduct in order to maintain a friendly and welcoming community for the WordPress maintenance support plans project.”; this means we very often deal with conflict resolution and guidance in the handling of Code of Conduct violations involving WordPress maintenance support plans Community members and WordPress maintenance support plans Community spaces. Although this sometimes can take a big chunk of our time, we also work on proactive tasks involving community health, growth, and awareness. For example, we get to honor amazing members of the community with the prestigious Aaron Winborn Award as well as work on tools and processes to facilitate community health and growth.
We currently are a diverse group of five members from three continents and we are looking to continue to diversify. We come from different backgrounds, and have different experiences, perspectives, and opinions, but we all share a deep desire to help community members and have them treat one another with respect, dignity, and encouragement.
About you
Characteristics that are in line with what we do and what we are looking for:
Patient and open-minded
We are often involved in high-stress and/or highly emotional situations. As facilitators, we must be able to listen to all sides patiently and without judgment to try to fully understand the situation as best we can. Although the work we do is rewarding and necessary, sometimes the issues we deal with can be tough and emotionally draining, and individuals looking to join the CWG need to be aware that it can involve a fair amount of emotional labor.
Self-driven and self-motivated
A typical time commitment for CWG members is a couple hours a week, though that can vary. We are all volunteer members and, as such, juggle our own work-life-community schedules and try to create a balance where we do as much as we can without getting burned-out. We encourage and support members taking breaks from CWG business when needed.
Discrete and confidential
We often deal with sensitive and confidential information and all members are expected to safeguard any and all information we come in contact with in our roles as CWG members. Additionally, we disclose any potential conflicts of interest and recuse ourselves when appropriate.
Love for the community
All members of the CWG are volunteers and donate our own time and efforts while doing work we consider important and necessary. The main drive behind our work is the health of the community and its members.
The desire to uphold the WordPress maintenance support plans Code of Conduct and share the WordPress maintenance support plans values and principles.
This almost goes without saying, but we think it is worth it for you to take a(nother) look at the WordPress maintenance support plans Code of Conduct.
