# Resolution 046: Federation Member Onboarding
topic: new member onboarding
date: 2026-09-16
deadline: 2026-10-16
size: large
## problem
New members of the Federation have many questions about decision making processes, Federation history, and active efforts. There is a historical norm that when an existing member vouches for a new member they also help the new member find information, but this is not always clear to the new member.
## resolution
This resolution proposes that we commit to a formal "onboarding buddy" role. After a new member has joined the Federation, the existing member who vouched for that member agrees to:
- within 2 weeks of acceptance:
- assist the new member in joining relevant internal communication channels (at least Federation and Voting Delegates channel)
- assist the new member in adding their project to /federation/membership
- within 1 month of acceptance:
- schedule an orientation call to welcome the new mebmer and answer any questions they may have
- direct the member to /federation/finance to assist in paying their dues
- within 3 months of acceptance:
- be available for answering asynchronous questions within 1 week
- serve as support for any proposals, recipe maitenannce, or any work effort the new member hopes to contribute to the Federation
After this 3 month period, the "onboarding buddy" role will be considered fulfilled.
This resolution further proposes that up to 3 volunteers shall be found to collect resources for a new member onboarding checklist for both new member and their buddy. This resource will consist of at least:
- communication channels for active Federation efforts
- links to proposals about decision-making and budgeting
- points of contact for other active Federation members
Estimated amount of work:
- each new member will create an expected 1 hour of work per week over three months for the vouching member
- the new member onboarding resource will create up to 10 hours of work for up to 3 volunteers
