Can sector participants propose working groups?

Yes. Sector participants may propose working groups, but a proposal does not create the working group automatically. 

A working group proposal should define the purpose, sector relevance, problem statement, expected outputs, participants, chair or coordinator needs, time horizon, records process, conflicts, safe-meeting boundaries, public-language rules, information-handling requirements, and relationship to National Stewardship Councils, Nexus Rails, NFD, RNFD, UNSFD, Project SPV-readiness, or Nexus Universe preparation. 

Working groups must not become sales groups, lobbying groups, investment groups, underwriting groups, lending groups, procurement groups, regulatory approval groups, sponsor-controlled groups, or unofficial authority structures. 

A working group may be approved, modified, merged with another group, held for later, routed to another platform, or declined. 

If approved, the working group should have an official docket, approved scope, meeting rules, output format, and claims boundaries. 

Working groups are instruments for disciplined work, not informal power centres.
