The TAB advises the CERN Director General for all matters relating to TT. This includes providing recommendations on policies as well as on specific cases (called TT Cases). For the former, the TAB prepares policy documents, proposes procedures and workflows. For the latter, the TAB conducts regular analysis of cases as well as hearings of case proponents.
