Ad Hoc Committees

Ad Hoc Committees are temporary committees that can be formed by the Executive Committee to perform a specific task and are dissolved when the task is completed and the final report is given. They address issues that are not resolved by ordinary processes of the Commission. Ad hoc committees serve two functions: investigate an issue and/or carry out a duty adopted by the Commission. Ad Hoc Committee Chairs are not members of the Executive Committee (unless they are Executive Committee members based on another role). Work Groups are similar to Ad Hoc Committees, but may include individuals who are not directly affiliated with the Commission.
