Requesting Groups & Demonstrations

The FDP oversees multiple Demonstrations brought forward by FDP members. FDP programmatic committees, subcommittees, steering committees, or working groups are generally responsible for Demonstrations. The FDP Initiation, Evolution, and Oversight on an FDP Demonstration Flowchart illustrates the process from an emerging topic or idea a member may have, proposal and approval of a Demonstration, formation of a group to oversee the Demonstration, and expectations of how the group operates.
