(A2) Organization of WTSP

 Invitation to Membership   (Ref.  (A1) Policies - Organizing the Project Team )

 For supporting/contributing/joining the WTSP Project, there are four ways/stages as follows:

(a) Supporting and Contributing to the WTSP from outside the Project without becoming a Member.

Describe your own Web site, or visit and describe various Web sites around you either in English or else in your own national language, and contribute the draft descriptions/suggestions to the Project by sending them to WTSP Members in your country (or directly to the Project Leader) via email.  Please avoid from commercial/advertizing stances.  Your drafts will be used by the Members as the basic description or comments or recommendations about the sites, while citing your name as a Contributor.

(b) Becoming a Member of WTSP, and working only in your own (non-English) national language.

In many countries in the world, people speak non-English national languages , and hence most of Web sites are written in such languages.  Hence:
You are invited to become a Member of WTSP and to describe such non-English Web sites in your own language and edit the List of Sites in your county.  You may collaborate with some WTSP Members (c) in your country. 

(c) Joining the WTSP Project as a regular Member working in English (and in your own language).

You will voluntarily work to describe/edit various Web sites in your country (or otherwise in your scope across the world) to introduce them in English to the whole world.  If you are in non-English speaking country, you will need to translate the descriptions in your own language (contributed by people in (a) and in (b)) into English.  Your descriptions will become a part of documents for your Country, for your Region (e.g., Europe, Asia, etc.), and for the whole world.  You are encouraged to review and comment/revise any other documents written by various Members, and to suggest/describe any Web sites in the world, in the borderless manner across the world.
Once the WTSP documents for the whole world are completed, you will find it worthy of introducing them to the people in your country, maybe in English or in your own language after translation. 

(d) Joining the WTSP Project as an active/leading Member working in English (and in your own non-English language).

Our WTSP Project needs a number of active/leading Members, who work taking responsibility for editing documents for Country (especially big ones like Russia, USA, China, etc), for Region, and for the whole world.  
And we would like to have people who work particularly in the scope of various categories of fields and methodologies (in and around TRIZ) across the world. 
Members working as staff for technical support may be necessary as well.
We wish to have all these active members on a voluntary basis.

 

 Joining as a Member

Any TRIZ (in a wider sense) leaders/colleagues who voluntarily want to join the WTSP Project (in the ways as (b)(c)(d) described above) are welcome, without any particular approval/screening process.

 Organizing a Team; Some Roles we need

Besides the ordinary roles as Members, we need Members playing the following roles:

Country Editor:  A Member who represents each country for preparing the documents, finalizing for publicizing, and later introduce the WTSP outputs to the country.   (In case of big countries like Russia and USA, we may have multiple Country Editors.)  In case of non-English language speaking countries, Country Editors play important roles for preparing the documents and for later introducing the WTSP outputs to their country people.

SIG (Special Interest Group) Editor: A Member or a group of Members who have common interest on any specipic theme (e.g., methodology, field of application, etc., across TRIZ or around-TRIZ) across countires may voluntarily form a SIG.  SIG should assign its coordinator (called SIG Editor) on a voluntary basis and keep communication with the Project Leader.  SIGs may contribute their WTSP Catalog manuscripts directly to the Project Leader.  (Jun. 30, 2020)

Regional Editors: One or multiple Members who take care of the documents of all the countries in each Region, and coordinating the Members in each Region.

Global Co-Editors: Several Members who jointly participate in decision making and take care of the whole activities of WTSP Project, especially responsible for publicizing the outputs.

Project Leader: One of Global Co-Editors, who represents the WTSP Project and is responsible for the final decision making.

Special Aspects Members:  Members who take care of the WTSP Project in some special aspects, e.g., categorizing relevant fields and methodologies and preparing documents with such categorization; designing final outputs, etc.

Technical Support Members:   Members who support the technical editorial work for editing/updating the documents and for displaying publicly.

All these roles are to be assigned on the voluntary basis.
