+Chair applications go through an [election process](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/master/tags/cncf-tags.md#elections) with a final CNCF TOC vote.

+## Technical lead
+
+A technical lead (TL) expands the bandwidth of the leadership team in terms of covering technical areas, growing the community, organizing events or doing TAG communications.
+Proposals must have a TL or Chair working as an active sponsor.
+TLs are experienced contributors within the CNCF community with rooted expertise in the TAG area. TL serve a two-year term but may renew their term by submitting a follow-up application.
+Technical leads go through an [election process](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/master/tags/cncf-tags.md#elections) with a final CNCF TOC vote.
+The [leadership election process is described here](template-leadership-election-process.md#technical-lead).

+
+## Working Group Lead
+
+A working group lead is an experienced contributor to the TAG that applies to lead along one or two others a working group.
+Working groups as community governance structure are defined in the [CNCF TAG](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/master/tags) folder.
+TAG Chairs are responsible facilitating the working group applications and make sure that the process is done transparent, accessible and traceable for everyone.
+One of the TAG chairs serves as the working group sponsor and provides guidance to the working group leads.
+Working group leads are signed off by the TAG Chairs and the TOC Liaisons.
+The [leadership election process is described here](template-leadership-election-process.md#working-group-lead).
+

+* Evolve the working group.
+* Garner active participation.
+* Establish documents and correct permissions for contributions to occur.
+* Contribute content to the working group.
+* Onboard and setup the working group lead successor.
+
+## Project Lead
+
+A project lead manages a community group for a specified period of time and works to achieve a specific outcome that has been previously discussed and agreed upon.
+Unlike working groups, projects require a predetermined time frame and are limited in scope and focused on a central deliverable. The project proposal must be discussed at a meeting and actively communicated to the entire TAG community.
+A TAG Chair or TL acts as a sponsor of the project and dedicates a portion of their time to actively support the effort.
+TAG Chairs must sign off on the establishment of the project group.
+Due to the limited scope of the role, there are no specific requirements for structuring the selection process for the project lead.  
+The TAG Chairs are responsible for selecting a suitable project lead and must ensure that the establishment of the project is transparent, accessible, and understood by all.
+
+**A project lead is expected to**:
+* Schedule, host, plan and facilitate meetings for the project.
+* Provide technical direction unique to the project.
+* Plan the project deliverable.
+* Report to the TAG on the project status.
+* Garner active participation.
+* Establish documents and correct permissions for contributions to occur.
+* Contribute content to the project.
+
+## TOC liaison
+
+The [CNCF TAG](https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/master/tags) process identifies a TOC Liaison.
+The TAG Chairs are responsible for establishing effective communication with the TOC liaison, including further communication to the wider TOC upon request.
+
+The TOC Liaison will occasionally prioritize TAG activities, as needed by the TOC, to further the [CNCF mission](https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/charter.md#1-mission-of-the-cloud-native-computing-foundation).
+
+## Emeritus Chair
+
+After a TAG Chair completes their term, they transition into the role of Emeritus Chair.
+This role does not impose any obligations on the TAG, but it acknowledges their committed time and effort.
+The role also lets them share information about their previous work and contributions to the TAG.
+An Emeritus Chair retains the same rights/access as in their previous role.
