Establishment of Working Group Memberships (deferred from the June 11, 2019 meeting) (no copy)

Committees can create working groups or task forces to assist in the research or review of a given item and it reports its findings back to the Committee. A working group is normally comprised of Committee Members, however, when required, volunteers may be called upon for their expertise to assist a working group by providing required information. Working groups operate by consensus and formal motions are not required. Administrative support shall not be available to working groups and consequently, the preparation of agendas, minutes and meeting requirements shall be the responsibility of the working group, if required. Support staff shall not be required to attend working group meetings (excerpt from the Advisory Committee Handbook, September 2018 edition).
