Knowledge classification
The task force will work in accordance with Charter Article 32, Point 2, "encourage and supervise development and organization of the Citizendium's content"
In the immediate term, review the Workgroup structure and recommend consolidations, deletions, splits, and new workgroups.
In the moderate term, consider the Workgroup system as a whole. Is it at the right granularity? Should it be used both for #expertise management and #quality marking?
In the long term, evaluate better linkage among content, including but not limited to semantic Web techniques. Look at the issue of external workflow integration.
Expertise management
Charter Article 32, Point 2 states "establish the qualifications for Editors and establish the procedure for promoting Citizens to Editor status, provided that such qualifications and such procedures do not violate any article of this charter.", and Point 3: "coordinate and supervise the Editors and their activities."

- will review the procedures and qualifications for Editors, in coordination with the #Knowledge classification task force to develop descriptions of expertise.
- address whether there might be value in having levels of subject matter experts, style and copy editors, etc. Especially if there is decoupling of the Approval process from Editor status, it will consider whether Editors should first have Author experience, or receive a specific waiver.
- draft policies for the use of outside reviewers.
