The PWWG is comprised of short-term Project Teams, which meet independently and report out at PWWG monthly meetings. The Project Teams are responsible for creating TKS Statements aligned with a specific Category (and its associated Subcategories) in the Privacy Framework Core. When a Project Team has completed its work product deliverable, it is dissolved and replaced with a new Project Team assigned to a new Privacy Framework Category.
Join a Project Team by subscribing to its mailing list. The Project Team mailing lists provide notices about Project Team meetings and updates. When you subscribe to a mailing list, you will be granted access to the Project Team Google Group and shared drive, where you can communicate with other members of the Project Team and access Project Team materials.
