5	5	The purpose of this Working Group is to adapt, develop and disseminate learning resources to help project managers of projects, portfolios, organizations or consortia gain an advanced understanding of strategies, processes and methods for the management, resourcing and governance of Free/Libre/Open Works (FLOW).

These frameworks are currently modelled upon projects under hierarchical management and exclusive organizational terms. These frameworks also assume that all projects are under exclusive organizational terms and hierarchical management.

18		-Mainstream management education is only superficially engaging with the evolution of successful free/libre/open source software development methodologies. Widely used educational materials — such as the PMP (Project Management Professional) and PRINCE2 (Projects in Controlled Environments, v.2) certifications — do not effectively address open source issues, including ethics, methods, processes, governance, HR management, corporate strategy, law, and financing.
	20	+The OSI Board charters this Working Group to resolve this gap by extending and refining an existing sharable asset entitled the “Management Education Syllabus on the Methods, Processes, Resourcing and Governance of Free/Libre/Open Works”, and by facilitating the development of an open market for service offerings based on it, aligned with the expectations and priorities of OSI and its global network of allied organizations and individuals.

20		-OSI would like to charter a working group to address this gap, in order to fulfill its mission by helping educate the public, and management of technology organizations, about the benefits of open source.
21		-
22		-The primary goal of this working group would be to extend and refine an existing project management syllabus according to the requirements and priorities indicated by OSI and associated third parties identified by OSI. The resulting syllabus would help managers and developers improve their licensing, development, and business practices, and may also be useful for educational institutions.
