Working Group is a term we're using for the group of people selected to plan the Education Program Structure (whatever this may be). This group of volunteers will collaborate from May 2012 to November 2012 to plan a new structure that meets both the academic and Wikipedia-based needs of the Education Programs in the United States and Canada. Many of these members may also decide to recommit through May 2013 and beyond to actually set up and participate in the new Education Program Structure. What are Working Group members committing to?
If you cannot or do not wish to meet all the Working Group commitments outlined above, you can still contribute to the process of planning the Education Program Structure by submitting a proposal.

Thus, the breakdown of the Working Group is as follows:
