There have been very few comments on this RFC, which makes it hard to gauge interest. I'd like to keep the discussion open a little longer before I open it for a vote (or withdraw it), so this is a gentle reminder to take a look and share any improvements or concerns you might have.

I suppose you saw it, but just in case, https://thephp.foundation/blog/2026/06/11/integrating-community-feedback-into-foundation-strategy-part2/ I can see some overlap here. And most likely to attract more external or internal persons than us here. Also I wonder why none of such announcements are also shared here, both to reach out members here and as transparency :)

I've addressed the PHP Foundation SIGs in a couple of other messages in this discussion, but I've just updated the RFC with a dedicated section: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/working_groups#php_foundation_special_interest_groups_sigs Additionally, I've added a "Grant of Authority" section to the policy text: https://github.com/php/policies/pull/35/changes/888d93b56c7c2fdd99acb0cec3a6a526a4f74b89 I hope this clarifies the distinction between PHP WGs and PHP Foundation SIGs. Let me know if I can help further clarify. Cheers, Ben
