Ad Hoc Chair Selection • The number of Ad Hoc groups and functional grouping per Ad Hoc group is subject to 50% (Simple Majority) Taskgroup approval. There shall not be more than 4 Ad Hoc groups. No more than 2 Ad Hoc groups shall meet simultaneously. • Subject to Taskgroup approval, the Taskgroup Chair shall assign at least one Chair and may assign up to 3 Chairs per Ad Hoc group (2 or more Chairs with the same Affiliation is not allowed, • Chairs are considered equals who rule by consensus among chairs. • Primary responsibility of the Ad Hoc Chair(s) is to ensure progression of work in the Ad Hoc group Osama Aboul-Magd (Samsung)
Ad Hoc Groups’ Operation • Ad Hoc Groups can establish their own decision-making rules as appropriate for the task (Decision by 2/3 majority of Ad Hoc group participants recommended) • These Ad Hoc groups will create detailed specifications per Functional Block which are then brought to the Taskgroup for a vote to determine if they are to be included in the TGac draft specification • In the case a consensus can not be reached within an Ad Hoc group (a stalemate that prohibits further progress), the subject will be brought up in front of the Taskgroup where 75% approval rate will be required. A vote of 50% in the Ad Hoc group shall be sufficient to move an issue to the Taskgroup. A vote of 50% in the Taskgroup shall be sufficient to move an issue previously assigned to an Ad Hoc group back to the adhoc group. • To be accepted into the TGac Draft specification, proposals from Ad Hoc group require 75% Taskgroupapproval. • During Taskgroup face to face Plenary and Interim sessions, Chairs for each of the Functional Block Ad Hocs shall report on Progress and Content to the Entire Taskgroup.
