> ·         To oversee the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of the

> ·         To coordinate updates to public and Forum-facing web and wiki

> ·         To create and manage the division of access and content spaces

> ·         To manage the technical means of production of guidelines and other

> ·         To manage the Forum-level email lists and to offer management of 
> working-group and subcommittee mailing lists as needed in support of the 
> Forum List Manager role established in the Bylaws;
> ·         To perform other activities ancillary to the primary activities

> Deliverables - The Forum Infrastructure Subcommittee shall be responsible for

> subcommittees or working groups for further consideration.
> Participation - Any member of the CAB Forum is eligible and may declare their 
> participation in the Forum Infrastructure Subcommittee by requesting to be 
> added to the mailing list. 
> Chair - Jos Purvis shall be the initial Chair of the Forum Infrastructure 
> Subcommittee. The Chair shall not have a fixed term, but the Subcommittee may 
> change its Chair from time to time by consensus of the Members participating 
> in the Subcommittee or by voting method chosen by the Members by consensus.
> Communication - Subcommittee communications and documents shall be posted on 
> mailing-lists where the mail-archives are publicly accessible, and the 
> Subcommittee shall publish minutes of its meetings to the Forum wiki.
> Effect of Forum Bylaws Amendment for Subcommittees - In the event the Forum 
> Bylaws are amended to add or modify general rules governing Forum 
> Subcommittees and how they operate (“General Rules”), the provisions of the 
> General Rules shall take precedence over this charter.
