<i>The TAC is an OFA sponsored council that researches and identifies strategic technology initiatives for the Alliance. TAC members evaluate and comment on major industry developments and news of interest, filtering it through the lens of their expertise and
experience. The OFA is an ideal organization to host and provide support to this activity due to its open and vendor-neutral nature. The TAC will make reports to the OFA Board on its activities; the TAC will utilize the OFA’s Marketing Working Group to distribute
TAC findings with the consent of the Marketing Working Group Chair(s). The TAC is not subject to Working Group rules. Membership is open to senior technologists from across the industry.<o:p></o:p></i></li></ul>
