Identify Need** - The [[OpenCivics Network/Labs/constitution_202508300849-draft/2. Structure/Roles/Labs Coordinator]] or an existing project member identifies the need for a new participant. **2. Proposal** - A request to add a new participant is submitted by a [[OpenCivics Network/Labs/constitution_202508300849-draft/2. Structure/Roles/Labs Member]] to the relevant Project. **3. Review** - The [[OpenCivics Network/Labs/constitution_202508300849-draft/2. Structure/Roles/Labs Coordinator]] for the project reviews the proposal to ensure alignment with project goals and resources. **4. Onboarding** - If approved, the [[OpenCivics Network/Labs/constitution_202508300849-draft/2. Structure/Roles/Labs Coordinator]] initiates the onboarding process, granting access to relevant tools and documents. **5. Confirmation** - The new [[OpenCivics Network/Labs/constitution_202508300849-draft/2. Structure/Roles/Labs Participant]] is added to the project's member list and announced to the team. **Role Term** - Project participants serve on the project until their work is complete or they choose to leave. - Participants can be removed from projects through the [[Remove Participant Protocol 1]]. - Participants may serve on multiple projects simultaneously. - The duration of participation is determined by project needs and the participant's availability.
