Subcommittees

Subcommittees comprise FCOS members and/or members without voting rights.

Due to the limited time available, not all business can be dealt with in detail during the regular FCOS meetings. These subcommittees hold detailed discussions on matters which, due to their importance, need to be handled by FCOS itself. They make preliminary decisions on behalf of FCOS. 

The following subcommittees are currently in place:

• The finance and budget subcommittee
