  Working group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Such groups have the tendency to develop a quasi-permanent existence once the assigned task is accomplished; hence the need to disband (or phase out) the WG once it has provided solutions to the issues for which it was initially convened.
However, working groups have been shown to be rewarding to the stakeholders, as it fosters innovation.
It is imperative for the participants to appreciate and understand that the working group is intended to be a forum for cooperation and participation.

 Working Group on Minorities - OHCHR   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Working Group on Minorities, which was established in 1995 pursuant to Economic and Social Council resolution 1995/31 of 25 July 1995, is a subsidiary organ of the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (previously called the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities).
Acceptance of diversity on the part of the majority or dominant groups often requires better understanding about the culture, customs, language and history of minority communities, which in turn has led to the recommendation that inter-cultural and human rights education curricula and programmes be developed.
Thus, discussions and documents adopted in various UN fora support the approach of the Working Group by advocating for the establishment of mechanisms for dialogue and arrangements for participation to address the exclusion and marginalization of minority communities.

 Agents Working Group - 2000
Working groups will solicit from implementers recommendations concerning qualifier semantics for CREATOR, CONTRIBUTOR and PUBLISHER that have been found to be useful in existing applications, and judged to be potentially useful for a broad range of Dublin Core applications (and hence, important to promote interoperability).
Working groups should attempt to identify qualifier semantics (from existing and proposed applications) that might have general usefulness for Dublin Core applications.
Implicit in the charge of these Working Groups is the recognition that many schemes and controlled vocabularies already exist and can be used in the existing infrastructure (an example of this is the ISO 8601 Date profile that has been agreed upon for encoding Dublin Core dates).
