The Project Steering Committee consists of a sub group of sponsors appointed to assist in the following duties:
• Discuss project management issues
• Monitor technical progress and project schedule
• Monitor administration and financial aspects
• Advice on selection of project sites for generic program

The committee members will be participating as individuals and not necessarily representing their company during the committee meetings. Preference will be given to individuals who represent Major project sponsors, who are relatively senior in their organisations and who have a long term involvement in the P9 project.

Meetings will generally be held alongside the P9N sponsors review meetings (SRM's). A meeting will be held prior to the SRM and, if required, a meeting following the SRM.

The meetings are organised and chaired by AMIRA. Key researcher leaders also attend these meetings.

All outcomes are minuted and discussed with all sponsors prior to any recommendations being implemented.
