Technical Advisory Committee
The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is an advisory committee to the Appointments & Governance Committee. It is a forum of engaged Members who are committed to driving outcomes through Collaboration, Catalyst, and Innovation Hub projects. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has up to 16 Member representatives whose expertise spans across all three TM Forum missions (Autonomous Network Operations, Composable IT & Ecosystems and AI & Data Innovation) as well as the Open Digital Architecture.
The purpose of the Technical Advisory Committee is to ensure that across TM Forum Member projects, TM Forum and its Members are delivering solutions for the mission challenges as required by our industry. The Technical Advisory Committee oversees the development of solutions, best practices, and standards and ensures alignment, transparency, and non-duplication of efforts across all project roadmaps.
Members of the Technical Advisory Committee will serve for a term of two years, with a possibility of reappointment based upon the committee’s needs and the individual’s contributions.
