How to avoid duplicating efforts?

[StefanSchroeder]

It seems to me that the goals and mission of this WG is identical to the Eclipse Foundation's Open Regulatory Compliance WG https://orcwg.org/

They met in Brussels the other day to discuss the Open Source related issues of the CRA, e.g. the role of stewards.

Is there collaboration across these WGs? Do we need two separate WGs?

Hi @StefanSchroeder - Just to follow up on this, and to let you know, the chairs of this group have been in touch with the folks at ORC. As individuals, ware committing to try to keep these efforts coordinated. I've personally joined ORC and I'm planning to attend their calls and keep ORC participants informed about what's going over here, and vice-versa. My intention is to ensure we aren't giving the developer community a mixed message, as much as possible. We've also explicitly listed ORC as one of the groups we want to liaise with. https://github.com/ossf/wg-globalcyberpolicy/blob/main/governance/external-liaisons.md Happy to discuss this further.
