Operation
The TRG makes specific recommendations and meets as often and in the manner required to achieve their remit. The group sets up working groups to examine specific technologies and issues and draws membership of such groups from people across the University with appropriate expertise and/or experience. All members of the group are responsible for consultation/communication with the communities that they represent.
