This document details the roles and responsibilities of working group chairs in the Celestia Improvement Proposal (CIP) process. Inspired by best practices in standardization processes like Ethereum's EIP and the IETF, it provides a comprehensive guide on chair duties ranging from facilitation of discussions to conflict resolution.
## Motivation
Effective leadership within working groups is crucial for the success of the CIP process. Chairs play a pivotal role in guiding discussions, driving consensus, and ensuring that the groups' efforts align with Celestia's broader goals. This document aims to establish clear guidelines for these roles to enhance the efficiency and productivity of the working groups.
