7Hans van der Veer Efficient use STF resources Guidelines agreed at TIPHON#23 Work items that use STF support must be adequately supported –At least four TIPHON members must identify named individuals constituting a Steering Committee (SC). –The Steering Committee will work closely with the STF and take responsibility for the management of the content of the work of the STF to achieve satisfactory completion of the work. For each work item requiring STF support, a TIPHON member should be appointed as rapporteur and given responsibility for leading the Steering Committee. Steering Committee members can participate in the selection of candidates for the STF.
