Does the GroupRole type have any recommended role types?

[eneufeld]

The https://github.com/FamilySearch/gedcomx/blob/master/specifications/conceptual-model-specification.md#322-the-grouprole-data-type has a property type. Does this property have any recommended types which should be used as do most of the other occurrences of the type property?

No, we haven't started developing that controlled vocabulary. I'd be happy to entertain a proposal, though.

For now, there's only Enumerated Value Extensions.

How (when) does a proposed type in the GEDCOM X Conceptual Model become an official specification?

As @stoicflame and others already know, my genealogy domain concerns documenting facts of slavery. Enslavement is now among the Person Fact Types; I guess that means “official.” In the Conceptual Model there are new types: EnslavedBy, Group, GroupRole, and the NonConsensual qualifier, among others of great utility and importance. Do they eventually get rolled into the official specification?

I’m just not knowledgeable about the process.

It becomes "official" when a proposal is made, the proposal gets accepted, and the proposal is merged into the official spec. Just like it happened at #323.
