Working groups are intended to be community-driven, indepdendent, and led by volunteers, rather than organized top-down.
As such, the idea is that although the Foundation will officially "recognize" Working Groups, the Working Groups should be able to exist independently of the Foundation too. For example, a working group can exist before being recognized by the Foundation, a working group could be simultaneously recognized by some other organization as well (e.g., a WC3 working group), and a working group could continue to exist even if the Zcash Foundation withdraws recognition.
To propose a working group for recognition by Zcash Foundation, create a draft file explaining the above, and either create an issue or a pull request to this repo, or contact the.

The authority to recognize working groups rests with the Zcash Foundation board, who have also authorized the President to approve a working group directly.

zApps Working Group
==========================
- *Coordinator:* Josh Cincinnati (interim coordinator)
- *Forums:* This working group will initially begin as a scheduled Hangout among participants, but will eventually include a chat room on chat.zcashcommunity.com and IRL meetings/presentations as well.
- *Statement of Purpose:* Pursuant to [issue 28](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/ZcashFoundation/issues/28) and [issue 35](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/ZcashFoundation/issues/35), there are many projects—blockchain related and beyond—that are potentially integrating zeroknowledge proofs and processes. To paraphrase [@nathan-at-least](https://github.com/nathan-at-least), this is a newly emerging technical field without well-established techniques, and it stands to reason that a working group could help standardize efforts, hasten development, and improve security across implementations.
Next Steps:
- Assemble list of potential participants and directly reach out. The current outreach list includes:
- Filecoin
- Ethereum
- Chronicled
- Qedit
- Tezos
- Quorum
- Zcash Company
- Libsnark
- Schedule Hangout, including a small presentation by the Zcash Company to describe their latest work and to collect feedback from other participants
- Initiate other channels for discussion (chat.zcashcommunity.com) and highlight opportunities for mutual development.
- IRL presentation by working group at a large venue (Devcon/meetup?)
Long Term Goal: In addition to fostering cooperation between many supporters and researchers behind zeroknowledge systems, the group would publish reports on their findings...and eventually offer services to other developers/researchers who want to build their own zeroknowledge applications (hence the *zApp* moniker).
