SCB2 is composed (May 2011) of 7 Advisory groups, 26 WG and 2 JWG .
The 3 first Advisory Group are : Strategic(SAG), Customer(CAG) and Publication/Tutorial(PTAG) Advisory groups who have in charge to Advise SC Chairman as far as Strategy, Customer satisfaction and publications are concerned.
The 4 Technical Advisory (TAG)groups provide advice for assisting the Chairman in the definition of the directions to be followed by the SC:
Electrical performance (TAG04),
Tower/foundation/insulator (TAG05),
Mechanical behavior (TAG06),
Asset management (TAG07)
Their responsibilities are :
1. to coordinate WG within the scope of theTechnical AG ;
2. to identify future direction of the technology in the technical area.
3. to prepare new items of work and to submit them to CAG and SC Chairman
4. to coordinate TUTORIALS between different WG ;
5. to attract new Members and retain existing members.
The list of WG is following ( their term of reference and the name of the convenor can be find at section structure) :
