Hi Michael,
The latter. While we have some subcommittees who operate as if they were mini-TCs (they still can only make recommendations to the TC and have no approval power) the original intent was that they would work as informal groups and report their progress and make deliverables to the TC.
I would advise against creating too many subcommittees; it's still a fairly small TC with only 10 members. Spreading bodies too thin typically results in little progress being made.
Formally, for each subcommittee there must be a name, a statement of purpose, intended deliverables, and a chair. You can find the subcommittee creation request here: http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/TCAdminRequests.html

Mary

Standards are like parachutes: they work best when they're open.

Mary – hi
At our next formal meeting (14 Oct), we plan to
move toward creating several ‘sub-committees’ and
selecting chairs.
Do sub-committees have to hold FORMAL meetings and
keep track of ATTENDANCE? Or, is their informal work
simply reported back to the PMRM TC for formal review and approval?
Any other differences between sub-committees and the whole TC?
Thanks…
Michael
