Working Groups

For much of its operating life the TEC organized labor through working groups — semi-autonomous teams with their own manifestos, agendas, budgets, and rhythms. This subsection has a page for each documented working group, describing what it did, what it accomplished, and where to find its source documents in the data repository. For the broader narrative — how the working-group model worked and how it gave way to a Coordination Team in late 2022 — see Working Groups Overview.

The groups

• Community Stewards Working Group — community health, stewardship, and operations
• Gravity Working Group — conflict transformation and mediation
• Rewards Working Group — the contribution-reward system
• Legal Working Group — legal strategy and risk
• Transparency Working Group — transparency practices, reporting, and audits
• Tech Spec Working Group — technical specification of the Commons
• Hatch Outreach Working Group — recruiting and supporting hatchers before launch
• Communitas Working Group — community-building and belonging

Other groups active in the record — Communications / Commons Swarm, WG Omega (research), Soft Gov, and Params — are covered in Working Groups Overview and their materials appear in the corresponding data-repository folders.
