Identify Need** - The [[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 [[Labs Member]] to the relevant Project. **3. Review** - The [[Labs Coordinator]] for the project reviews the proposal to ensure alignment with project goals and resources. **4. Onboarding** - If approved, the [[Labs Coordinator]] initiates the onboarding process, granting access to relevant tools and documents. **5. Confirmation** - The new [[Labs Participant]] is added to the project's member list and announced to the team. # Remove Participant This protocol ensures a smooth and clear process for participants leaving a project. **1. Initiation** - **Voluntary:** A participant informs the [[Labs Coordinator]] of their intent to leave the project. - **Involuntary:** The [[Labs Coordinator]]], in consultation with the [[Labs Manager Council]] if necessary, initiates removal due to inactivity or misalignment. **2. Offboarding** - The [[Labs Coordinator]] revokes access to project-specific tools, transfers any ongoing responsibilities, and processes any final payments. **3. Confirmation** - The participant is removed from the project's member list, and the departure is noted in the project records.
