MOWG's
Management
Operations Working Groups (MOWG’s) are informal groups
who help NASA discipline personnel maintain a close relationship
with the space science community. NASA regulations do not specifically
authorize MOWG’s, although they do distinguish emphatically between
advisory committees and operational review groups. Members of
advisory committees legally become government employees during
their service, their meetings must be publicly advertised well
in advance, and meetings are fully open to whoever wishes to attend.
In contrast, MOWGs meet more informally and the hard-copy result
of an MOWG meeting is by tradition a series of “Findings” rather
than a set of “Recommendations.” MOWG products may include analytical
papers, staff analyses, or other types of work products that explain
or analyze a situation or a set of facts or data but do not specifically
recommend a particular decision or course of action. A working
group may also set up a series of options or identify the strengths
and weaknesses and/or costs and benefits of alternative courses
of action. MOWG Findings are submitted by the MOWG Chair to the
Heliophysics
Advisory Subcommittee, which is a standing subcommittee of
the NASA
Advisory Council (NAC); it also supports the advisory needs
of the NASA
Science Mission Directorate (SMD). The scope of
the Subcommittee includes the study of the Sun, the Suns
connections to the space environments of the bodies of the solar
system, and the heliosphere out to its interface with the interstellar
medium. The membership of the Subcommittee consists of 12-15 leading
scientists with relevant expertise drawn from industry, academia,
and government institutions. Members will generally be appointed
to two- or three-year terms, and approximately one third of members
will be replaced annually.
