A representative is also chosen annually is a voting delegate of the [[Nominating Committee]]. These representatives are chosen rotationally: the rotation order for the Board liaison is ETSI, ITU-T, W3C, and the rotation order for the NomCom delegate is W3C, ETSI, and ITU-T. The IAB does not participate in the rotation, as the IETF otherwise appoints representatives to both structures.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/structure/tlg.htm ICANN Structure: TLG]</ref><ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XI-A-2 ICANN Bylaws]</ref>
== Role ==
== Role ==
The main role of the TLG organizations is to channel all the relevant and necessary technical information and act as a guide to the Board as well as other entities of ICANN. This role of the TLG has been divided into two components. Firstly, the TLG connects the Board and other Bodies of ICANN with the relevant sources that provide them with all the necessary technical expertise. And secondly, it also plays the role of a ‘watchdog’ and advises the Board about the latest technical developments and the impact they may have in the decision-making process of the Board of ICANN. <ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XI-A-2 icann.org]</ref>
