group

group

For W3C, it allows you to associate a specification with a particular working group. Supported group short-names can be found at: https://respec.org/w3c/groups/.

Specifying the group will also figure out all the patent policy related things for your particular specification.

var respecConfig = {
  group: "payments",
};

You can also specify multiple groups:

var respecConfig = {
  group: ["group1", "group2"],
};

If a Community Group (CG) and a Working Group (WG) are using the same shortname, e.g. "wot", you can specify the group type as:

var respecConfig = {
  group: "wg/wot",
};

Closed groups aren't listed at https://respec.org/w3c/groups/, but you can access their details by writing both group type and shortname in respecConfig.group (like wg/csv). https://www.w3.org/groups/ might be helpful in finding shortname and type in such cases.
