To assist the Board of Directors in its mandate, it defers part of its powers to sub-committees that may cipher through all the submissions and make recommendations to the Board.

Nothing precludes the Board to proceed in a different direction if it deems it fit. The Board may also appoint other formal committees depending on tasks at hand if it deems if necessary.
