February 5-6, the Transitional Steering Group (TSG) of ITPC met for the first time in New York City, USA, to agree on an advocacy agenda and future permanent governance structure, as well as to look at the registration of ITPC, actual operating costs, fundraising strategies and the strategic direction of ITPC-related initiatives (HIV Collaborative Fund, Treatment Monitoring Project, World Community Advisory Board and others). This meeting was attended by all seven board members with Sarah Zaidi and David Barr in ex-officio attendance as staff members. The Terms of Reference of the TSG were agreed, and work priorities established.
While it is anticipated that the new permanent board is to be set up by the end of 2010, the TSG was put in place in late 2009 for one year to develop a governance structure, provide oversight and, on a temporary basis, fulfil the role of a board.
The TSG made commitments of engagement as TSG members for their one-year term and plans to meet again in September to coincide with the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) meeting in New York to advocate for continued commitment to country universal access targets.
