The Committee meets a minimum of two times per year. The Committee is authorized to facilitate its work through informal subcommittees, which shall report their activities and recommendations to the Committee as a whole. It is anticipated that the work of subcommittees will be conducted primarily through telephone calls, e-mail correspondence, and e-mail discussion lists. Recommendations of subcommittees must be reported to the Committee as a whole, and only as modified or ratified by the Committee as a whole, may such recommendations be included in the official record of the Committee proceedings, and reported to the Chairman of the Commission.
