IRCv3 Working Group Charter

The IRCv3 working group is chartered to prototype, develop, test and specify further extensions to the IRC client protocol. It does not define any other aspect of an IRC network, such as IRC services, or the server-to-server protocol, although the changes it develops may require cooperation from vendors in both areas.

These extensions are published on this website through backwards-compatible specifications.

IRCv3 Contributors

The direction of these specifications is led by our contributors and the WG Chair. Our contributors consist of a broad range of IRC software and specification authors that reflects the IRC development community at large. We seek to make all decisions by consensus.

To be listed on this page, contributors must:

  • Demonstrate support of the IRCv3 specifications
  • Have the approval of the current contributors
  • Adhere to our code of conduct

We're seeking representation from as many members of the IRC community as possible. If you or your project would be a good candidate for representation, please contact us!

Here's some of our current contributors:

{% for member in site.data.tc %} {% endfor %}
IRC nick Github Project
{{ member.nick }} {{ member.github }} {% for project in member.projects %} {{ project | markdownify | replace: "

", "" | replace: "

", "" }} {% if forloop.last %}{% else %}/{% endif %} {% endfor %} 		{% if member.chair %}Chair{% endif %}

Governance

The WG Chair is able to move discussions forward and make decisions in cases where consensus between contributors isn't possible. They can also return proposals to the drawing board where necessary.

The WG Chair's authority is derived from, and contingent upon, the confidence that the community of contributors places in them.

Ownership of the resources of the IRCv3 WG are spread across several contributors, to prevent the situation where someone can unilaterally control the WG without support from the contributors.
