IMTC Activity Groups

Working Groups are made up of Activity Groups that carry out work specific to an area or a subject. The Working Groups, including the Methodology Committee, are overseen by the IMTC Board of Directors who provide both business and technical direction. The Methodology Committee meets at least quarterly to cover topics such as work plan development, work plan progress reporting and technical policy.

The Activity Groups are open to unlimited participation by employees of member companies.  Activity groups meet regularly.  Their specific activities are determined by the participants.  Activity Groups allow competing companies to conduct regular dialog regarding interoperability of their products and to develop a common stance enabling them to help shape and evolve industry-wide standards.
