    Participant

    • Active contributor and voting member of the workgroup.

    • Voting status is tracked in the Voting Status column, and criteria for maintaining voting status are outlined below.

    • Obligations include attending meetings and voting on all Technical Committee questions, work item proposals, and drafts.

    Notes:

    1. Single Voter Rule: Each entity (company/organization) can have only one voting member. Participants from the same entity should decide who will hold voting status.

    2. Individual Members: Individual participants can vote and represent themselves. However, if they work for a RISC-V member organization, they are treated as part of that entity.

    Observer

    • Non-voting participant.

    • Registration is optional but ensures access to documents, meeting attendance, and the ability to submit comments.

    Voting: Member is in good standing and eligible to vote.
    Probation: Member cannot vote due to one of the following:

    • Initial criteria for voting not yet met.

    • Lost voting rights and not yet reinstated.
      None/Blank: Member is either an Observer or a Participant but not the designated voter for their entity.

    Voting rights may be removed per Section 2B, item #4 of the policy for:

    1. Inactivity: Missing 2 out of 3 consecutive meetings (in-person, virtual, or correspondence). Attending any meeting in a multi-meeting week counts for the entire week.

    2. Failure to Vote: Not voting on any Proposal, Stable, or Freeze Milestone ballots.
