An integral part of governance which is established and institutionalized in the Charter is the actual governance structure, which reflects the governing body and supporting committees that make up the decision and approval authority for the SPA. The GTSI Team will develop a recommended governance structure supported by a Charter and By-Laws, which meets the requirements established by the NECP, Ca1SCIP and SAFECOM guidance, based on a working group framework, which includes a centralized decision making authority for the SPA and which will decentralize the local decision making ,authority for Urban Areas and Operational Areas. The authority of the regional governance structure should be narrow in scope and related only to defined operability/ interoperability communication activities, such as equipment standards, training and evaluation, directives controlling compliance with NIlYiS/ICS standards, coordination of exercise requirements and managing/ administering the allocation and distribution of grant funds. Typically the governance structure is made up of an executive committee, which is generally considered to be the governing body, and the several committees, usually operational and technical committees, which provide the subject matter expertise and monitor the current state as well as provide recommendations on needed improvement and projects, and ad hoc committees which are designated for specific requirements or needs. The recommended SPA governance structure will consider any unique political, operational or technical issues, be framed in -G- GTSI Coy fdential and Proprietary.
