Supporting Workgroup(s)

Collaboration and Strategy Workgroup

The Collaboration and Strategy Workgroup is the focal point for advocacy or technical work product that involves other trade or external organizations and the development of OOC related strategies. This workgroup will include participation of Trades with current Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) or reciprocal membership. This workgroup will also seek to gain alignment with peer organizations that may have overlap in the subject matter covered. This workgroup will commonly have additional participation with the OOC groups that have purview over the subject matter.

Standards and Best Practices Workgroup

The Standards and Best Practices Workgroup is the focal point for referenced standards workshops and guidance documents that are developed in support of OOC's Subcommittees and Workgroups. This workgroup does not maintain a separate roster and activities are ad hoc with connection to the host Subcommittee or Workgroup.
