4. NORWEGIAN SOCIAL SCIENCE DATA SERVICES Project Steering Committee (PSC) The PSC is the highest management board of the project. It will consist of one representative from each principal contractor. It will be chaired by the project co-ordinator. The PSC provides the overall policy, direction and management of the project. The PSC will be responsible for all formal decisions regarding project strategy and eventual amendments to the Project Work Description (Technical annex). It will approve project objectives and reports from the CT and the Coordinator. The PSC will be responsible for allocation of resources, decisions on intellectual property rights, and conflict resolution.

Bjarne Øymyr, NSD Ken Miller, UKDA Jostein Ryssevik, Nesstar A small team is considered essential for easy communication and planning, but this team will be expanded as necessary and will liase with the principal contractors, who include all work package leaders, at very regular intervals, via fortnightly tele-conferences.
