Active (Chartered) Workgroups
Active or chartered workgroups hold regular meetings (usually every 1-2 weeks) by tele/webconference, and most meet a few times a year at face-to-face Forum meetings.
- Most workgroup charters will have durations of six to 18 months, but never longer than the period of time for which they have already defined specific deliverables, outcomes, and milestones.
- Workgroups that do not complete their work within their defined charter period may be extended for a short period at the discretion of HTNG management at for a longer period with approval of the HTNG Board of Governors.
- Chartered workgroups may be continually re-chartered as they are able to define successive stages of deliverables, but each new charter requires approval of the HTNG Board of Governors.
