So far, there hasn't been anything formal that covers the
formation and transition of working groups. This makes a
first attempt.

@mikeal: Looking at that PR again, I think it still makes sense to cover at least some of the WG procedures and requirements in the dev-policy. The dev-policy becomes more of a procedural guide while the lifecycle doc takes a higher level view. What do you think?


Every Working Group has a charter that details it's area of responsibility. Once approved by the TSC, the Working Group becomes solely responsible for items detailed in that charter.

The charter must also indicate the conditions under which the Working Group's activity can be considered to be complete and the WG can be dissolved. A Working Group can, at any time, request that the TSC dissolve the Working Group by opening an issue requesting dissolution with the *tsc-agenda* tag.

This isn't always applicable. Rather than "The charter must also" I would say "When application the charter should"

@jasnell ya, this is good. I sort of forgot that the way we bootstrap working groups in io.js is to copy the process from the TC, but that wouldn't work in the foundation because the dev policy is so much more detailed and core specific.
