Working Groups can be created by the GAC Chair (GAC Operating Principle 27) and they:
* focus on particular topics or areas related to substantive or administrative issues;
* have their own agreed Terms of Reference;
* are comprised of volunteer GAC members and observers;
* may have a dedicated mailing list, in-person meetings, and conference calls;
* rely on briefs for meetings and provide reports for GAC plenaries;
* can be ongoing or have a limited lifespan; and
* provide expertise, recommendations, or draft documentation to be considered by GAC Leadership or the full GAC.
