Historically we have only had documentation, which is here:
 https://www.w3.org/community/about/

There is a slide deck for chairs:
 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1lnBu1bgJVJcYIrNPUpvxxQrc7qodAsBW7usni8n719I/edit?slide=id.p#slide=id.p

Here are the slides from yesterday’s (inaugural) Chair training sessions:
 https://www.w3.org/2026/Talks/w3c-chairtraining.pdf

I have linked to those from the FAQ:
  https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#training-materials

Here’s the list of participants in the CG:
 https://www.w3.org/groups/cg/council/participants/

I’ve cleaned up the minutes so that names are clear.

You can reach out to the people who presented on that; their contact information is in the chair training slides I believe.

Key resources about Community Groups are linked from the About page:
 https://www.w3.org/community/about/

Here’s the link to the process document:

We’re working on a revision:
