Technical Committees may be established by the Board of Governors to cover a special portion of the field of interest of the Society. This special Committee shall provide a source of technical and professional advice and assistance on the particular field of interest of the technical committee. In certain cases where a technical committee such as a technical standards committee is providing a service to or on behalf of IEEE as well as the Society, the coordination with the IEEE shall be effected to ensure compliance with Institute requirements. If a technical committee covers a complete Field of Interest of the Society, e..g., Land Transportation, it may, at the discretion of the members concerned and approval by the Board of Governors, be designated as a Division of the Society, and function as a subentity of the Society.
