## SPN Working Groups and Committees
After the 2016 SPN Forum in Atlanta eight working groups were established to spearhead topics and initiatives discussed at the Forum.
Initial Working Groups included:
- Curation-Readiness
- Metadata/Standards
- Legal/Policy
- Research
- Communication
- Technological Infrastructure
- Documentation
- Governance
During the fall of 2017, the original working groups evaluated their current action plans and determined that as of Fall 2017, SPN Working Groups would include:
- Training/Education
- Metadata/Standards
- Legal/Policy
- Research
- Communication
- Technological Infrastructure
Documentation WG became a liasion role. Tim Walsh is currently the Documentation Liasion to all the Working Groups.
Governance WG became the Central Coordinating Committee.
Subprojects for each working group can be found as components under this page. Working Group subprojects include links to drafts and finalized documents as curated by each Working Group.
