Purpose and scope
The TWP is the core document of the Presidency and provides a blueprint of the work that will be carried out during the triennium. The document was very well received by the IGU Executive Committee and approved in October 2011. It was subsequently endorsed by the IGU Council in October 2011. In essence, the 2012-2015 TWP aims to promote progress, competitiveness and value of the global gas industry, through the development and exchange of knowledge and information and networking among IGU members and the global community. Hence it support the mission of IGU to reach its vision of being "the most influential, effective and independent non-profit organization, while serving as the spokesman for the gas industry worldwide".
The workforce behind the TWP comprises technical committees formed to address specific studies covering the entire gas chain, as well as all the major "horizontal" issues concerning the world gas industry. In addition, Special Projects identified by the Presidency will also be undertaken by task forces. A total of 14 committees, six Programme Committees (PGCs), five Working Committees (WOCs) and three Task Forces on Special Projects (TFs) form the backbone to support the work as defined in the TWP.
