Incorrect, we can't actually dissolve it but we can revoke it as being formally responsible for what it was chartered for.

This did just happen with the Roadmap WG.
Whether it is call "dissolving" or "revoking" ... ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ... but the process should be defined and probably should match the TSC wording (so maybe the TSC doc needs to change too).

It was in a formal sense revoked and in a slightly less formal sense dissolved... (by half of it's members?)
The language does matter.

Since we're pretty explicit elsewhere (I think, at least) that the only power the CTC maintains over a WG is to revoke its charter, I think we should use the same language here. I agree the difference is subtle, but consistency will help reduce the likelihood that someone interprets one document as saying one thing and another document as saying something different.

Ok @Trott & @Fishrock123 I changed it to revoked |
Sorry, something went wrong.

@nodejs/ctc This is a governance change, so if we could get a bunch of CTC members to LGTM this here, it means we won't have to take it up during a meeting. |
Sorry, something went wrong.

Clarification: This isn't a governance change, per se. It is a a change to the governance doc. But it is a clarification, not a change. |

Isn't it members here?

How about instead of:
back in to the CTC. A Working Group can be revoked either through consensus of the Working Group membership or normal CTC motion and vote.
...something more like this:
back into the CTC. This can be done by revoking the Working Group's charter. A Working Group's charter can be revoked either by consensus of the Working Group's members or by a CTC vote.

I think that's fine @Trott ... but then we should update the TSC's version too huh?

You mean because it's a verbatim or near-verbatim copy? In that case, maybe pick one location and link to it from the other?

Text revised to remove another reference to the word dissolve and to provide (hopefully) better wording. Please re-review. |

Description of change
Recently, the Roadmap Working Group was dissolved. I thought we followed a defined process for making that happen- but I was incorrect. The problem is that I confused the text in the TSC's text for dissolving a Top Level Working Group as being the process for a Core Working Group. They are identical EXCEPT that the TSC's version ends with:
So- Core Working Groups actually do not (technically) have a defined way to dissolve them right now. This is likely just an error of docs being shuffled around.
This PR just adds that same statement to Core's version of WORKING_GROUPS.md.
This will need to be approved by the CTC.
