Working Groups and Committees

The DMTF's top-level committees, the Alliance Committee, Interoperability Committee, Marketing Committee, and Technical Committee, oversee the operations of the DMTF's subcommittees and working groups. Committees can form subcommittees, which focus on issues in specific areas of the committee's charter. Under subcommittees are the working groups. All groups are comprised of DMTF members with specific areas of expertise helping to develop the various standards, specifications, and other documents in support of managing enterprise and Internet environments.

DMTF working groups are established and dissolved on an as-needed basis. Participation is open to all DMTF members except for Monitoring-level members. If you are a DMTF member and would like to join a working group, please go to the working group Web page and click the "Join This Group" link near the top of the page. Or, you can contact the chair of the specific group in which you are interested. If you are not a DMTF member and would like to become one, just visit the Join Us area of the Web site.
