in SIGL CL we had consensus this WG to be sponsored.
personally, i mentioned i don't clearly understand what will be product of this WG but let's see.

there could definitely other participating SIGs here, did you get +1 from any others?
has the steering committee +1-ed?

 ## Working Groups

 The following [working groups][working-group-definition] are sponsored by sig-cluster-lifecycle:
+* [WG Node Identity](/wg-node-identity)


sig autoscaling and other sponsors needs to be updated too.
but note they must have agreed to it during a recorded zoom meeting.

the proposal was presented at four SIG meetings:

SIG Autoscaling, 2026-04-23

SIG Node, 2026-04-28

SIG Cluster Lifecycle, 2026-05-12

SIG Auth, 2026-05-20

is sig auth participating?

neolit123 · 2026-06-30T06:23:27Z

+- Developing any node attestation mechanism outside of the ownership of a sponsoring SIG.
+- Long term ownership of cloud provider-specific implementations of attestation verifiers
+- Workload identity (existing solutions exist)
+- Removal of bootstrap token support — bootstrap tokens will remain available as a fallback, but attestation should be the default for distributions that support it


unlikely for the kubeadm team to agree on that.
the regular k8s user doesn't care about atestation.

+    stakeholder_sigs:
+      - Autoscaling
+      - Cluster Lifecycle


iirc only SIG Cluster Lifecycle gave a sponsoring +1 (in the 2026-05-12 meeting). SIG Node said they're time-constrained to sponsor and would participate instead (2026-04-28), and as I understood autoscaling is an interested consumer rather than a sponsor.

since the generated SIG READMEs render every stakeholder_sigs entry as "sponsored by", this should probably be:

Suggested change

stakeholder_sigs:

- Autoscaling

- Cluster Lifecycle

stakeholder_sigs:

- Cluster Lifecycle
