Working Groups
IFOR Working Groups
IFOR Working Groups are small groups of 3-5 experts that come together
as needed to discuss strategic and conceptual issues important to
IFOR. Decisions made by the different Working Groups are then passed
on to the International Committe and Council for evaluation and
review.
To facilitate the implementation of the 4-Year Plan (2006-2010) Council established 11 working groups and appointed convenors. The composition of each working group will be decided by the International Committee. Terms of Reference have been proposed by Council but these are subject to change. The convenors of each working group have been asked to submit proposals or amendments to the Terms of Reference to ICom before the next ICom meeting in March 2007.
