Re-charter the Ecosystem Security WG #1081
Description
In relation to "Node.js Foundation technical group"
We should probably re-charter the group with that removed too.

Thanks for opening the issue.
For context for others: This is referring to the Ecosystem Security WG. The charter mentions Node.js Foundation but that foundation doesn't exist anymore. In #1053, it's changed to OpenJS Foundation. I'm not 100% sure that's correct. If it is correct, then the charter needs to be updated too. If it's not correct, then both the charter and WORKING_GROUPS.md need to be updated.

I think we could think of de-chartering it given the ecosystem program was halted?

@mcollina @MylesBorins had suggested in this previously and after I mentioned we should talk to @lirantal and @esarafianou first as the most active members. I think @MylesBorins had said he was going to do that.
EDIT: We do need a change either to change the chartered scope or to de-charter.

@nodejs/security-wg TSC is trying to figure out if we need to update your charter or simply de-charter you and let you folks continue to work as a GitHub team rather than a chartered working group. I'm not sure that there are relevant advantages to being a working group. Your feedback would be great. I've added the
security-wg-agendalabel to this, but feel free to remove, of course.RafaelGSS commentedon Sep 28, 2022
@Trott Could you elaborate what are the differences between those charters (if there is a document explaining it would be awesome)? Currently, the group is working pretty similar to any other working group. We have bi-weekly meetings, initiatives...

A chartered working group is formally delegated responsibility, while a team simply is a group of people working in an area without any formally delegated responsibility. Pratically there is little difference day to day.

We discussed today in the security-wg team meeting. The consensus was that for the current work we don't need a formally chartered team. Our understanding is that we can continue in the same way we have (with repo, team etc.) if the wg is de-charted. In that context we are ok with decharting the WG.
