    Group/Meeting Types &Responsibilities Group Responsibilities Technical Steering Committee (TSC) Delegation of responsibilities to organizational components below it, strategy, escalations, group & chair & preliminary charter approvals, ratification. voting (most discussion and notification by email, web page listing and supporting docs, automated voting system). The TSC has voting members and non-voting attendees. The voting members include premiers and HC and IC chairs. (non- voting attendees are advisors and RISC-V staff -- no organization can be represented more than once) Chief Technology Office (CTO) Runs TSC voting process, both Chairs meetings, Strategy, organization, IT, roadmap, resources, escalations, ISA Committees (IC) Approve and oversee package for TSC vote for the creation of ISA Extension TGs and filling the chair and vice-chair vacancies for its TGs. Develop strategy for the groups under it and complete coverage of areas of responsibility under it including gaps. Horizontal Committees (HC) Approve and oversee non-extension TGs, and has responsibilities to make sure that all Extension TGs cover the area overseen by the HC before ratification, Responsible for developing a holistic strategy and reaching out to the external ecoystem and community groups. Horizontal Subcommittees (HSC) It is a nested HC. Task Groups (TG) Must have charter that define deliverable work products: extension specifications, standards, requirements, best practices, etc.. TGs under the unpriv and priv SC can have ISA extension work products. TGs under HCs should not have ISA extension work products. Special Interest Groups (SIG) Topic discussion. No work product. Can be created by the TSC, ICs or HCs with TSC approval not required. Meeting Responsibilities Committee Chairs Meeting TSC strategy discussions. Invitees are IC chairs & HC chairs, RISC-V staff, TSC, and advisors and ad-hoc invitees. Chairs Meeting Invitees are RISC-V staff, Chairs & Vice Chairs of all ICs, HCs, HSCs, TGs, & SIGs.
