membership, communication, and means of operation?
o What regularity and type of reporting is required from these groups? (Reporting to the Guiding Group, and to the MSP)
Support team

(i) facilitating stakeholder interaction, coordination and consensus building;
(ii) providing and coordinating expertise and analysis;(iii) assisting in the preparation of guidance
for technology and policy development.
