DINA Technical Committee

The permanent Technical Committee (TC) of the DINA consortium coordinates the software development among Core Members (defined below) to produce a coherent software system fulfilling the requirements and needs of DINA consortium members. Each Core Member elects one representative to the TC and may replace its representative at any time by informing the DINA International Steering Committee (ISC).

Under the general guidelines set out by the ISC, the Technical Committee is responsible for the long-term system architecture roadmap and technology choices, as well as the short- to medium-term coordination of the development efforts. The TC elects among its members a chair, a secretary, and any other officials it deems necessary. In the TC, each partner in the consortium has one vote.

Note that the TC was previously called the System Engineering Task Force (SETF); the name was changed to avoid mix-ups with CETAF, which many of the DINA partners are also associated with.
