Does the WinterCG operate by consensus?
Is this the same as “WinterCG”?
</h2>
</a>
<p>
The group strives for rough consensus among contributors for changes
to work products. Instead of formal consensus, the editors for a
given work product make the judgement on whether a change is ready
for inclusion and has enough support from the group. The group
itself has a strict consensus policy outlined in the charter, which
is overseen by the group chairs.
We initially started our work of working on this cross-runtime
interoperability in May 2022 by creating the Web-interoperable
Runtimes Community Group (nicknamed WinterCG) under the W3C. We
chose to organize it as a W3C Community Group because it was open
for anyone to participate, without needing to be a W3C member.
</p>
<p>
W3C Community Groups are set up to help people organize together,
but they can't publish standards. And as WinterCG matured, and our
goal expanded over time to include defining non-web APIs, it became
clear that we needed to form some working group or technical
committee, which can publish standards. Therefore, in December 2024
we formed WinterTC (formally, TC55) as an Ecma International
Technical Committee. When WinterTC is fully set up, all WinterCG
work will move there, and then WinterCG will close.
</p>
<p>
You can still be involved in WinterTC, but in order to become a
member of it, you need ...
</p>
<p>
By their very nature, Ecma TCs are not as open as W3C CGs, requiring
participants to either belong to an Ecma member or be an invited
expert. However, keep the spirit of openness, we plan to invite
anyone who does not belong to an Ecma member as an invited expert,
so that anyone is free to participate.

Let's emphasize processes for getting involved rather than starting with closed-ness. At the same time, let's not explicitly promise that we'll let everyone in.

This section in the FAQ is meant to be about the change from WinterCG to WinterTC and the differences between them. There should definitely be a section on how to get involved that covers things you can do without becoming a member, but I don't think it should be here.

Should I remove this paragraph, then?
