Overview of At-Large Working Groups: Types
There are several types of WGs depending on the nature of their mission:
• Sub-committee - Typically has an ongoing task that requires formal ALAC motions and voting.
Example: The on-going requesting and monitoring of funding bythe ALAC Subcommittee on Finance and Budget
• Standing Working Groups – Generally work on on-going or long-term issues
• Ad-Hoc Working Groups – The ALAC and RALOs may form ad hoc WGs to address specific projects or reach specific goals
• Taskforces – Usually have mandates to accomplish in a short time-frame
• Archived WGs – Deemed by the ALAC as being inactive or having completed their mandate
