The OCS Policy Committee appoints subcommittees to look at issues in-depth. The subcommittees report back to the full Committee. If their report is acceptable to the full Committee, the report is sent to the Secretary through the Director. In addition, the OCS Policy Committee frequently provides advice to the Secretary through the Director in the form of resolutions.
