Reasons for Matrix Structure

• Matrix organization allows for experts from various industries to give input into consensus documents
• Assignments for committees clear
• Task Groups only write documents
• TEGs do not write documents
• Easy for newer members to find the type of meeting they want to attend
• Sharing of technical information in informal ways
• Number of purely administrative meetings kept to a minimum
• Committee reporting streamlined
• Committees restructured and right-sized
• More coordination between groups

Technical Committee Numbering

Technology Management Groups (TMGs)

• Cross-Industry Technology (C1)
• Cross-Industry Technology (C2)
• Industry-Specific Technology (N1)
• Industry-Specific Technology (N2)
• Science (S)

Specific Technology Groups (STGs)

• Two-digit number
• 01-99
• 01
• 02
• 03
• Task Group and TEG numbers are from the same series and therefore are not duplicated
• No hyphens
• Task Groups (TG)
• Three-digit number to 999
• 001, 002, 003, etc.
• Technology Exchange Groups (TEGs)
• Three-digit number to 999, but with X added
• 010X, 212X, etc.
• Work Groups have same numbering as before, e.g., 041a, 041b
• TEGs do not have Work Groups
• Numbers used alone
• STG 43
• TG 082
• TEG 076X
• The ?0? is necessary
