Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://usecaseframework.openactive.io/appendix-two-governance-and-accountability-structure-guidance/governance-and-accountability-structures.md). # Governance and accountability structures When agreeing the structure of your use case community, it may be helpful to think about the following: * **Group structure** - Required roles and/or which contributions will come from within the use case community and which will come from external contributors. * **Resourcing** - Where do you need to invest time/money? * **Leadership structure** - How does oversight and accountability work in your use case community? How does this help you to deliver? This may depend on your agreed [funding model](/appendix-six-funding-model-guidance/funding-model-guidance.md). * **Infrastructure** - Are there any particular policies and procedures that you have in place that support you to deliver better work? You may wish to create a [Terms of Reference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_reference) (ToR) or [Memorandum of Understanding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorandum_of_understanding) (MoU) for the use case community. ## Resources * [Chartered Governance Institute UK and Ireland](https://www.cgi.org.uk/knowledge/resources) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://usecaseframework.openactive.io/appendix-two-governance-and-accountability-structure-guidance/governance-and-accountability-structures.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
