ACMSF subgroups
As well as the full Committee, which meets 3 times a year, the ACMSF has a number of smaller groups which meet to discuss specific topics in greater depth.
These groups usually include co-opted experts to supplement the expertise already provided by ACMSF members. Ad Hoc Groups are established to make assessments of particular issues and advise the main Committee on the possible need for further action. Working Groups are longer term groups which are convened whenever there is new business for them to discuss.
Reports from the previous subgroups are available on the Reports page.
