The Strategy and Organization Subcommittee is a self-chartered group operating on behalf of the organizations represented by its members. Represented organizations are members of the R&E community or are closely affiliated to it.

Structure

S&O decisions are made by consensus (where a useful working definition of consensus is:  all legitimate objections are considered and resolved before decision-making is concluded).

S&O has no predetermined size. Additional members may be added at the discretion of existing members. Anyone may nominate new members from the community.

S&O has one convener, who is responsible for

• Running regularly scheduled meetings
• Ensuring issues are appropriately discussed before decisions are made

Otherwise, the S&O convener has no special powers. The convener is selected by the S&O membership.
