Mandate for NRB Task Forces

1. The objective of an NRB Task Force is to continue liaison among member countries between NRB meetings, through investigation of an area of mutual concern.

2. A Task Force is constituted for two years, with the possibility of renewal for a maximum of two additional years. The Task Force is created during an NRB meeting, with a minimum participation of four member countries.

3. The Chair of the Task Force is appointed by the member country which proposes the subject for the Task Force. The Chair will confirm membership from supporting countries within one month of the NRB meeting.

4. A work plan should be formulated by the Task Force within one month of its creation. The plan is to include the objectives, the investigation approach and tangible outputs of the Task Force.

5. Membership and work plan of the Task Force must be approved by the Chief Delegates of the participating countries.

6. A progress report is to be distributed to the Chief Delegates at the end of the first year. Modifications are to be made to the work plan as appropriate.

7. A final report is to be delivered to the Chief Delegates one month before the next NRB meeting so that it may be distributed to the delegates in advance of the meeting.

8. A summary presentation is to be made by the Chair of the Task Force at the NRB meeting.

9. It is highly desirable that a proposed Task Force be identified and the concept circulated among Chief Delegates prior to an NRB meeting.
