| Where the workgroup is uncertain of or unable to agree on the way forward, members may raise issues to the relevant Steering Group(s) for consideration. Significant decisions should be made following the usual Swift Evolution process to allow for community participation and Steering Group oversight. | ||

I think that we should be following the C++ WG model, and not have explicit membership lists or the distinction of "core" vs "non-core" members.

We discussed this in the Platform Steering Group meeting. The alternatives are:
- No list of members. Windows Working Group is contactable via a forums alias. Forums aliases are transparent though (see e.g. the C++ interoperability group), so you can see who the members are.
- List of "core" members (people whose full time job involves working on Windows; people can be added to or removed from the core member list by request).
- List of all members. Implies we update the Working Group page all the time, or we restrict membership which makes no sense for a Working Group.
We definitely don't want to do (3). I'd suggested (2) partly because I didn't realise the aliases had public member lists, but partly also because I thought it would be useful as a way for people to see that there was an increasing effort being put into support for Swift and its ecosystem on Windows (I'm not sure (1) quite gets us that, but it is at least more transparent than I had originally realised).
Personally, I still like (2). I know @compnerd prefers (1). Happy to leave the final decision up to Core Team.
Added profiling and Windows-specific tooling.
