Working Groups and committees

The ODESC governance boards are supported by a number of multi-agency Working Groups and committees.

Committees are typically longstanding while working groups are usually formed as required to concentrate on a specific issue.

Membership of committees and Working Groups depend on the nature of the issue under consideration.

• Counter-Terrorism Coordinating Committee;
