Any modeling scientist can join a Working Group. Working Groups self organize, with support from the Executive Committee, and nominate a Working Group Chair for approval by the Members Council. Working Group Chairs serve for a three-year, renewable term.

Working Groups meet as needed at least once per year either virtually or in person.

The ECSWG provides input to other Working Groups and the Executive Committee. The ECS can organize student-focused programs and

Other Working Groups may be proposed by the Executive Committee to oversee and coordinate additional OMF activities. The establishment of any new working groups must be approved by the Members Council.
