>>>>>>A bit more information on the TWGs
The 8 ECREA Temporary Working Groups (TWGs) have the same remit as ECREA 
sections, but these TWGs are only established for a term of 4 years. 
After the end of the term and upon request of the Chair of the TWG, they 
can be renewed by the Executive Board only once for 4 more years, or 
they can be granted the status of a Section (see also articles 41 and 44 
of the ECREA Bylaws). The activities of TWGs will include the 
organisation of one panel at the European Communication Conferences 
(ECCs) and the organisation of one event during the years when no ECC 
takes place. TWG will report on a yearly basis to the Executive Board 
(and the membership).
