Workgroups
STAC has the power to form Standing Workgroups and Ad-hoc Workgroups.
Standing Workgroups
- Formed as a proactive measure
- Addresses an important subject
- Typically a long-term workgroup
Ad-hoc Workgroups
- Formed as a reactive measure
- Addresses a specific, urgent issue
- Typically a short-term workgroup
Both types of workgroups can draw members from the region’s scientific and technical community, though leadership must be a STAC member. A standing workgroup is able to form an ad-hoc workgroup.
