The Working Group 01 (Subchaptering Framework) aims to define a clear structure and guidelines for setting up local chapters across the MENA region, ensuring coherence and alignment.
The Sub-Chapter Framework Working Group (SCFWG) is established to design and recommend a standardized framework for creating and managing sub-chapters under MENACOSE within the MENA region. The framework will define objectives, governance, roles, and operational rules to ensure alignment with INCOSE’s vision while addressing regional diversity.
● Define the mission and objectives of MENACOSE sub-chapters. ● Establish governance and reporting structures between chapter and sub-chapters. ● Develop criteria for forming, approving, and sustaining sub-chapters. ● Provide guidance on leadership, elections, and member engagement. ● Outline rules for financial management, events, and knowledge-sharing. ● Recommend inclusive and equitable practices across the region.
● Draft Sub-Chapter Framework (v0.1) for feedback. ● Final Sub-Chapter Framework Handbook (v1.0) approved by the MENACOSE Board and INCOSE HQ. ● Pilot implementation report capturing lessons learned. ● Templates and guidelines for proposals, elections, reporting, and events.
● Open to all MENACOSE members in good standing. ● Dr Maged Elaasar is the WG Chair, supported by Dr Bassem Hassan as Deputy Chair(s) and Hassan Eldeeb as Secretary. ● Operates under the authority of the MENACOSE Chapter Board. ● Decisions by consensus, or majority vote when necessary. ● Monthly meetings; quarterly progress reports to the Board.
● Month 1: Establish WG, review best practices. ● Month 2: Draft framework (v0.1). ● Month 3: Member feedback and revisions. ● Month 4: Pilot implementation for one quarter. ● Month 7: Final Handbook (v1.0) and pilot report.
