	all WG members
For any (potential) WG member, the charter and QA-commitment parts of Operational Guidelines ([QAF-OPS], Guideline 1) should be helpful in understanding what the WG has committed to deliver. Familiarity with the Specification Guidelines[QAF-SPEC] will be helpful to any member who participates in the advancement of the WG's specifications to Recommendation.
	WG spec editors & authors
As for all WG members, the operational guidelines [QAF-OPS] are useful. A good working understanding of specification guidelines [QAF-SPEC] will be needed in order to satisfy the specification guidelines and checkpoints, and Specification Examples & Techniques[SPEC-EXTECH] should be a valuable resource in choosing document structure, formats, and techniques that will facilitate satisfying the requirements.
	WG chair
As the person ultimately responsible for both the advancement of the WG's specifications and the WG's QA projects, a familiarity with the guidelines for operations and process [QAF-OPS], for specifications [QAF-SPEC], and for test materials [QAF-TEST] will be useful.
	WG-TS participant
Those who are active in building the conformance test materials of the WG will need a good working understanding of both the guidelines for test materials [QAF-TEST] and Test Examples & Techniques[TEST-EXTECH]. Because of the close dependency of test materials on the functional specifications, a good familiarity with the specification guidelines [QAF-SPEC] as well as examples and techniques [SPEC-EXTECH] will also be helpful.
	WG-TS moderator
The person who manages the WG's QA projects should have good working understandings of guidelines and techniques for specifications ([QAF-SPEC] and [SPEC-EXTECH]), as well as the guidelines and techniques for test materials ([QAF-TEST] and [TEST-EXTECH]). In addition, knowledge of all of the process and logistical setup guidelines [QAF-OPS] and techniques [OPS-EXTECH] are needed.
	non-WG spec reviewers
Whether from other WGs, or the public at large, the specification guidelines [QAF-SPEC] will be helpful to those who review a WG's specifications.
	non-WGTM reviewers
Whether from other WGs, or the public at large, reviewers of the test materials of a WG should be familiar with guidelines for test materials [QAF-TEST], and familiarity with the techniques [TEST-EXTECH] as well would facilitate a critical review.
	Reviewers of activity proposals & charters
For those W3C members who will be reviewing Activity proposals and proposed WG charters, and helping to form their AC representatives positions, the commitment and deliverable requirements defined in the operational guidelines [QAF-OPS] are helpful.
	QA Activity members
Members of the QAWG are an expert resource for the W3C Working Groups, and accordingly should be expert on all parts of the Framework; members of the QAIG need thorough familiarity with all parts as well, to effectively render some of the IG's chartered deliverables.
