The governance structure provides for the creation of ad hoc committees on an as-needed basis. Ad hoc committees focus on tasks that have timely solutions to be created in a fixed period of time. Ad hoc committees may meet just once or may operate over the course of a year. Some ad hoc committees (the Multi-year Contract Committee) meet each year with new membership. A task force addresses a specific and pressing problem and will continue to meet until the task is finished and the problem is solved. In order to avoid duplication of effort, ad hoc committees and task forces should notify the PAPC of their charge.
