Carpentries Incubation: Governance

[tobyhodges]

(From https://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/governance/lesson-program-policy.html#phase-2-incubation)

Goal: to ensure consistency with existing lesson program governance, and accountability for leading the work during Incubation.

• Establish a culturally and linguistically diverse Lesson Program Committee (LPC) of at least three people to serve as a governance body and point of contact with The Carpentries.
• The LPC should create a document describing this group’s roles and responsibilities.
• The LPC should meet at least quarterly to oversee Lesson Project activities.
• The LPC must demonstrate experience having discussions and making decisions by providing The Carpentries Core Team and Board of Directors with access to meeting minutes.

It is proper and appropriate for HPCC to have but one Committee, handling both Governance and Curriculum.
This should be spelled out on our Website and in a charter document.

• We should self-select a "secretary" for each meeting who is responsible for (1) making or reminding the creator to lock the CodiMD and (2) copy the CodiMD into the coordination repository.
• We should consider renaming "coordination" to "governance."
