The wider imaging group is managed by the Planning Committee led by two co-chairs. The Planning Committee should consist of no less than three people. Each co-chair serves a two year term in the position. The terms of the co-chairs should be staggered to ensure there is always an incumbent co-chair and a new co-chair.
