How is the COR tasked?
As the working group of the COP, the COR meets as needed to address issues put before it by the COP. COR members may also propose initiatives from various sources, for forwarding to the COP. For example, the Executive Office of the President or the Homeland Security Council may task the COP to investigate a specific area and produce recommendations for action. The Committee, in turn, often tasks the COR to study that area and provide a report within a specific period of time. The COR may convene a subcommittee to fulfill the COP’s request. As another example, the OMNCS may present or initiate a new program for consideration by the COR and the COP. Alternatively, an NCS member organization may present a briefing for NCS consideration.
