A Working Group is a group of experts that is established
with specific terms of reference, by Council, based on the recommendation
of Science Board. Most Working Groups report to parent Scientific Committees,
others directly to Science Board. Most Working Groups meet annually to
undertake specific tasks within their terms of reference. Science Board
suggests the members of Working Groups in consultation with the PICES
Chairman, and seeks Contracting Parties’ approval and support.
