Technical Committees (TCs)


Technical Committees are the technical working groups of the Consortium. A Technical Committee is established with a specific charter (scope of work), time frame, deliverables and expected schedule, and will disband when its scope of work is completed.

Technical Committees generaly produce CalConnect Work Products: Reports, Recommendations, etc. Technical Committees may also collaborate externally towards the production of external documents which are intended to be submitrted directly to an SDO and which are not formal work products. See Work Products for more information.

Representatives of Consortium members may participate upon any Technical Committee by contacting the Chair of the TC. Consortium members may propose new Technical Committees to address areas of work not currently under consideration, and may offer a Chair for a new TC.

Click on the committee name for more information about that committee if it has been made available.
