Workgroups people that work together on shared goals, usually because of their job. Our platform encompasses workgrops in both USA and Canada. Workgroups include Federal, State, and Provincial agencies, to the local governments of Counties and Regional Districts and their Municipalities and Special Districts to Private actors, including small NGOs and Non-Institutional Groups. Agencies are very influential because of their management of Funding and Regulation and their steady base funding that supports staff. In our region Tribal Governments have a unique position, asserting Treaty Rights. Many important decisions over Land Use and Infrastructure are delegated to Counties/Districts and Municipalities. Private entities dominate the production of goods and services. Among all this actors, NGOs attempt to cultivate Public Goods and improve Common Pool Resource Management. Formal Academic institutions are both public and private, however Knowledge Creation also occurs outside of the Academy. Coordination groups play a unique role in bridging among institutions.
What Is In A Workgroup Page
Check out our Style Guide for suggestions on developing workgroup pages. Workgroup notes might include: sources of funding or legal authorities, the number of people in the group, how they are organized and what do they do, the geography they work in, and the purposes for which group works. One might develop a chronology section, to record the history and pivotal moments in the life of a workgroup. You might use Dynamic Page Lists to list Efforts or Products.
Workgroup Categories
Consider using the following categories when creating workgroups:
- Workgroup Type - Workgroup type describes the kind of institution in terms of its legal status, and is our primary way of identifying workgroups
- Effort Type - Effort categories define purposes, and is can be useful to list workgroups by the kinds of activities that they conduct.
- Places of Operation - Some workgroups work within a particular geography. If you include place categories, a workgroup can be identified by place.
- Jurisdictions - Similar to places, some workgroups operate only within certain governmental jurisdictions.
Workgroups by Region
A useful way to see the collection of workgroups is by Region, and each region page describes its workgroups further.
