 ## 1. What are Eclipse Foundation Interest Groups?
-Eclipse Foundation Interest Groups facilitate the collaboration between participating Eclipse Member organizations to drive shared innovation. Eclipse Interest Groups are a light-weight association of a subset of Members that can come together to share a common interest in a topic or domain in a vendor-neutral manner based on the Eclipse Foundation’s overall governance structure including its antitrust policy.

 ## 2. Does this mean Eclipse offers two mechanisms by which it supports industry collaborations?
 Yes, the Eclipse Foundation now offers two mechanisms to foster open industry collaboration to develop and drive new industry platforms and initiatives. Like Eclipse Working Groups, Eclipse Interest Groups can also collaborate across organizational boundaries in a vendor-neutral structure to solve industry problems and to drive shared innovation.
 
-## 3. What are the major differences between Interest Groups and Working Groups? How do I choose which is right for my initiative?  
-Interest Groups, while modeled after Working Groups, are a very light-weight/self-governed  group. Participation in Interest Groups is self managed by Member organizations, and there are no formal participation agreements, budgets, or committees. In short, they provide a simpler mechanism for Member organizations to collaborate in a collegial, vendor-neutral manner on initiatives of shared interest.

 Working Groups are intended for industry collaborative initiatives that have the intent to invest in the collective initiative, typically via participation fees. The intent is for working groups to address such additional objectives as developing and promoting a joint brand, developing open source specifications, contributing resources to drive common roadmaps and/or platforms, etc.
 
-From a pragmatic point of view, Working Groups leverage the [Eclipse Foundation Working Group Process](https://www.eclipse.org/org/workinggroups/process.php) to manage and drive the collaboration, and have Participation Agreements, Working Group Fees, Charters,Committees, Program Plans, Budgets, and so on. Interest Groups, on the other hand, due to their lighter-weight structure, have none of these.

 ## 8. What is the governance structure of an Interest Group?
-The governance structure for Interest Groups is intentionally lightweight. Eclipse Interest Groups inherit and rely upon the Eclipse Foundation’s overall governance, sufficient to enable individuals from Member organizations to collaborate effectively while conforming to all Eclipse processes and policies, including the Eclipse Foundation Intellectual Property and Antitrust Policies. See the [Interest Group Process](https://www.eclipse.org/org/collaborations/interest-groups/process.php) for a full overview of applicable related governance documents.

 ## 13. Can Interest Groups graduate to Working Groups?
-There is no direct correlation between Interest Groups and Working Groups, and thus no notion of graduation.  Rather, all Eclipse industry collaborations, be they Interest Groups or Working Groups, will persist for however long they serve the collective purpose of their Members. It is possible that, over time, the Members of a particular Interest Group may deem that it would be more useful to be constituted as a Working Group, and vice versa. Should this be the case, it is possible under the guidance of the Foundation’s staff to make such a change.

 ## 14. Are Interest Groups the same as Special Interest Groups (SIGs)?
 While similar, they are different.  Special Interest Groups are a collaborative governance structure that allows Members of a working group to collaborate on specific, focused aspects of the broader working group’s scope. As such, Members of a SIG must also be participants of the Working Group which has formed the SIG.

+# 5 Reasons to Collaborate on Open Source Software at the Eclipse Foundation { .padding-bottom-20 }
+
+## Why a Working Group at the Eclipse Foundation is a Great Alternative to an Association { .padding-bottom-20 }
+
+Today, organisations of all types and sizes across Europe recognize that open collaboration is a strategic imperative for business success.
+
+For many European organisations, the natural first step towards open collaboration is to create a new association or foundation that’s dedicated to their particular technology or industry focus area. Unfortunately, these siloed associations almost inevitably experience challenges that severely restrict, slow, and complicate open innovation among members.
+
+The good news is there’s an alternative approach that offers considerable advantages: Creating a collaborative, open ecosystem — called a working group — at the Eclipse Foundation.
+
+### Eclipse Foundation Members Have Easy Access to a “Foundation in a Box" { .h4 }
+
+The Eclipse Foundation AISBL is the largest open source foundation in Europe in terms of projects, developers, and members. During its nearly 20 years of operation, the Eclipse Foundation has successfully created and nurtured hundreds of open source and open specification projects and communities. It has also provided a home for dozens of vendor neutral, open working group ecosystems for more than a decade.
+
+Working groups at the Eclipse Foundation receive [services and benefits](/membership/) that allow them to openly collaborate and innovate in a much faster, easier, and more cost-effective way than they can in a standalone association or foundation. As a result, they have a much greater chance of success.

+## Jumpstart Open Source Innovation at the Eclipse Foundation { .h4 .margin-bottom-30 }
+
+When you create a new association, your open source ecosystem is starting from nothing. However, when you create a new working group at the Eclipse Foundation, your open source ecosystem begins with a strong foundation of governance, processes, and infrastructure it can immediately leverage.
+
+
+Since 2019, the number of working groups hosted at the Eclipse Foundation has nearly tripled. More than 190 Eclipse Foundation members are also members of working group ecosystems, and a growing number participate in multiple working groups.
+
+
+### Affordable Fees Open the Door to All { .h5 }
+The fees for Eclipse Foundation membership, and for working group membership, are based on annual corporate revenues, so it’s affordable for organisations of all sizes to join working groups. And each working group has the flexibility to tailor its charter to define the right set of membership levels, fees, and committees to support its goals.

+It can easily take several years to reinvent all of the governance and processes the Eclipse Foundation has already developed. One of the major European associations that came to the Eclipse Foundation for assistance had been working on its IP policy and bylaws for 18 months with very few tangible results.
+
+In contrast, the Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle Working Group was able to take advantage of the existing Eclipse Foundation framework and processes. As a result, ecosystem members began openly collaborating just three months after initially joining forces. This is an amazing achievement, given the potential complexity that can arise among such a broad range of large, world-class organisations. Founding members include:

+
+In a standalone open source association, collaboration opportunities are typically limited to the members of the association.
+
+At the Eclipse Foundation, there are endless opportunities for ecosystem members and entire ecosystems to openly collaborate on
+shared goals across technologies and industry focus areas. There’s no need to negotiate individual agreements or manage multiple
+highly diverse sets of requirements and rules.
+
+At the ecosystem level, a number of working groups are collaborating to strengthen their individual efforts, including:
+
+- [Jakarta EE](https://jakarta.ee/) and [MicroProfile](https://microprofile.io/) Working Groups
+- [Eclipse IoT](https://iot.eclipse.org/) and [Eclipse Edge Native](https://edgenative.eclipse.org/) Working Groups
+
+Within these very diverse ecosystems, members ranging from major multinational players to small, entrepreneurial organisations have
+discovered the potential to combine their respective technologies. For example, Obeo, a Strategic Member of the Eclipse Foundation
+with a few dozen employees, is partnering with Thales, a multinational corporation with tens of thousands of employees. Both companies
+contribute to numerous Eclipse Foundation projects.
