The CB decided that it would in its next meeting constitute these three and possible other committees, after a workshop discussion of what tasks and committees the IFF CB should oversee. The meeting will then also officially elect the chair and the committees. The IFF Committees will be elected during the next IFF CB meeting on the 24th of January 2021.
