Work group votes unanimously to create three subcommittees to speed research and reporting

After discussion of committee scope, Rose/Chair Evan invited a motion. Ali Lee moved to create three subcommittees with revised titles; the motion was seconded and the group approved the structure by voice vote. Evan called the roll-by-voice: "All in favor of adopting the motion to create the 3 subcommittees as defined, say aye," and the motion carried unanimously.

Members clarified that the committees were intended to be virtual, small (5–7 people), and would not necessarily meet publicly; agendas and outputs would be reported to the full COG at public meetings. The consultant team will coordinate committee launches and requested members email their preferences and priorities to staff so organizers can form working groups ahead of the October meeting.
