==1. LWG Community Guidelines for endorsement==

Following a formal vote, LWG seeks board endorsement on 5 Community Guidelines. The background can best be understood in the 2 links below, but in summary getting board endorsement is an important symbolic check and balance step in maturing guidelines so that third parties can have confidence that they have been duly considered and are not a minority view.
