## Abstract
This document provides a detailed guide for managing working groups within the Celestia Improvement Proposal (CIP) process. It draws from best practices in organizations like the IETF, focusing on the formation, management, and closure of working groups, ensuring their alignment with the overarching goals of the Celestia network.
## Motivation
The successful implementation of the CIP process requires a structured approach to managing working groups. These groups are pivotal in addressing various aspects of Celestia’s core protocol and ecosystem. Effective management ensures collaborative progress and helps align group outputs with Celestia's broader objectives.
