	9	+While the OSI had historically created and managed "working groups" in order to investigate, and propose changes to policy, practices, and the organization, these were primarily driven by the affinity interests of particular directors. The norm at the time was that working groups were committees of the board, as mentioned in the bylaws and thus could not include non-directors, or had to be led actively by a director. Both of these characteristics limited the scope (number and variety of efforts) of what could be achieved.

	21	+In the Spring of 2013, a new process sought to create input from the growing OSI Constituency (specifically as a result of the new membership programs for individuals and non-profits), as well as to transform the board into a directive rather than an activist body, where the personal priorities of Board Directors could be routed through, still associated but not Board-mandated, development practices. As a result the term "incubator" was identified to refer to a new activity, that might not be within the current practice or scope of responsibility for the OSI, but would nevertheless contribute to the OSI mission. The label "working group" was reserved for activity related to OSI meta-business like hiring, finance, PR etc. and for input on existing or proposed policy, practices, or operations.
