Governance model
The governance model for Power.org is as follows:
The role of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors plans to consist of Founding Members, each of which
has a single voting representative. The Board of Directors responsibilities
are likely to include:
- Managing the organization's budget and by-laws
- Establishing and overseeing the Technical, Operations, Developer, Compliance, and Marketing Committees
- Approving new committee and subcommittee formation, including scope, IP Policy choice, schedules, and output
- Overseeing and disbanding committees and subcommittees
- Adopting specifications, implementations, and other output from the committees and subcommittees
Committees, subcommittees, and their formation
Power.org envisions having committees to govern and manage different aspects
of the consortium designated upon vote of the Board of Directors. It is
anticipated that the Board of Directors shall designate the following
Committees: Technical Committee, Operations Committee, Developer Committee,
Compliance Committee, and Marketing Committee. Additional standing or
temporary committees, consisting of one or more Directors, Founders, and/or
Sponsors, may be formed by the Board of Directors.
Each committee will work with its members to create and develop proposed Subcommittees and project output for its business area. Each committee will determine, in accordance with any direction given to it by the Board of Directors, the appropriate level of detail and formality for its subcommittees and related project output. When forming, each subcommittee will identify its scope, policies, schedules, and output for approval by the committee and Board of Directors.
