Re: [tax] Sub-committees

[John.Glaubitz@vertexinc.com]

Andy,

I think it's likely that there'll be overlap of some sort between all three
sub-committees and I expect the sub-committes will need to further define
themselves in terms of objectives, deliverables and responsibilities, once
they're formed.  However, as far as acting as liason is concerned, one
possible way this could be organized is for the Liason and Marketing group
to focus on identifying potential partnerships, establishing communication
and bringing the appropriate business or technical specialists into any
related discussions.  Likewise, the business and technical groups may
suggest to the liason group those partnerships and communications we may
need to go after.    The detailed work between any two organizations would
be in the domain of the business and techincal groups.  I suppose we need
to decide whether this separation of responsibility is warranted.  Further
comment?

I think there is some overlap here, since identifying technologies and
techniques should be done in conjunction with existing standards groups
or bodies, and that seems to me to be 'liaison' of a kind.

Perhaps the 'technical liaison' should sit with the Technical Analysis
SC, and the customer/partner/marketing stuff should remain in the
Liaison and Marketing SC. Comments?
