3. CIPWG recommendation
Critical Infrastructure Protection Advisory Group (CIP AG) serves as an advisory committee to ERCOT and stakeholders on cyber security, physical security, and CIP standards
CIP AG is not part of TAC structure and does not conform to TAC procedures, voting rules, etc.
Through discussion of CIP AG interaction with NERC CIPC, it appears TAC has not met requirements of ERCOT Bylaws Sec. 5.4

4. CIPWG recommendation
TASOR TF recommends TAC direct ROS to create a CIPWG to improve stakeholder communication and action on critical infrastructure protection standards, advisories, and best practices
The CIPWG should be allowed to develop closed meeting procedures similar to PDCWG when circumstances require discussion of sensitive critical infrastructure vulnerabilities or security procedures
First assignment of CIPWG should be to review ERCOT Protocols, guides, practices, and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable NERC standards and industry best practices

5. Review Bylaws Section 5.4 Section 5.4 Other Appointments
If requested by NERC, TAC shall elect representatives to the various NERC committees and associated subcommittees, task forces, and working groups. The selection of TAC representatives to NERC shall require an act of TAC as set forth in Section 5.1(c). If more than one representative is requested, TAC should consider selecting representatives from different Segments.
