- Members may at any time, subject to the approval of the Strategy Committee, set up an issue task group provided at least 4 members from at least 3 professional sectors have expressed interest to play an active role.

- Each ITAG shall develop an action plan to conduct relevant research, organise events, develop tools and formulate policy position in respect of the specific policy areas or public concerns.
