[Discussion Groups] A Discussion Group is a lightweight, informal group that may discuss the formation of a Working Group, but may not create Draft Recommendations. A DG may also act as a “Special Interest Group” or “birds of a feather” group for informal discussions. A Discussion Group may prepare Reports to the LC (or to be used as a contribution to a WG). [Work Groups] 
Work Groups are chartered by the Leadership Council to work on issues specified in the WG Charter. The WG shall elect from its participants one or more Editors to produce draft Technical Specifications, other Draft Recommendations, and/or Reports. Participation in a WG is contingent on accepting the Intellectual Property Rights Policy of that Group. IP terms of a WG must be described in its charter. Once the IP governance is established for a WG, it may not be changed.
