Working Group Officers

Working Group Officers

Each Khronos standard has a working group that develops the specification, conformance tests, tooling and community outreach. A single working group may be responsible for one or more standards.  There is usually a single chair for each working group and a number of supporting officer roles.  A working group may also have Task Sub Groups (TSGs) that work on specific components of the standard.  All working group officers are elected by that group’s active Khronos Members.
