The Resolution
Whereas the breadth of some workgroups is huge, and it makes sense to break them down into more natural subgroups; and
Whereas the academic disciplines have specialties and sub-specialties, there is also an interdisciplinary need for subgroups; and
Whereas having subgroups would encourage specialist experts in these fields to join the Citizendium; and
Whereas readers will be able to use the subgroup categories to focus on articles in a particular specialist field and will help readers come to learn the Citizendium's navigational tools;
THEREFORE be it
Resolved, that the Editorial Council adopt the document "CZ:Proposals/Subgroups" as policy.
Method of Execution
The redirect at CZ Talk:Proposals/Subgroups be removed.
The page CZ:Proposals/Subgroups be moved to CZ:Subgroups.
Amendments

Discussion
(From the proposal): Since the pilot Chemical Engineering Subgroup was initiated it has added 122 articles and 18 of them have been approved. A good many of those 122 articles include content that is overlapping with the Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Sciences Workgroups demonstrating the potential for interdisciplinary collaborations within the environment of a Subgroup.
