This group does not (yet) have a charter that describes its decision process, and as a result, there is limited accountability in how the Chair reaches decisions. The Community Group process affords greater protections to those groups that document their decision processes. A quick context reminder here: this text is a small patch. The primary change we plan to make regarding accountability (as discussed in November [1]) is around Chair selection.
