The project’s governance structure is designed to ensure effective decision-making and strategic oversight, facilitated through dedicated committees established by members from partner organizations. The Governing Board takes on the responsibility of overseeing the project’s overall charter, bylaws, strategy, budget, committee management, and ecosystem engagement on a global scale.
Working in tandem, the Operating Committee (OC) handles day-to-day operations and makes decisions on behalf of the Governing Board. The Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) focuses on the technology strategy, system engineering process, architecture, and sub-project management strategy. Additionally, the Project Management Committee (PMC) oversees sub-project management, quality assurance, documentation, release processes, and sub-project reporting and trials. Each of the Sub Project Teams, such as Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, and so forth, takes ownership of specific deliverables, contributing to the overall success of the project. This collaborative governance approach ensures a comprehensive and well-coordinated effort across the various facets of the project’s development and management.
