a group of experts working together under contract with ETSI normally working in the ETSI premises in France Specialist Task Forces give ETSI a competitive advantage by

accelerating the development of urgently needed deliverables Experts for the Specialist Task Forces are proposed by ETSI

Members The Specialist Task Force works under the technical guidance of the

relevant Technical Committee
