Thank you for repeating the question.
Actually, it's not quite a decision-making committee. It's an advisory committee. So, if there are decisions to be made about a program, it is up to the department—which has the authority and capacity to do so—to implement the program. It is primarily a coordination forum, first and foremost.
Of course, as far as BOREALIS is concerned, my colleague has the authority to make her own decisions.
