Its governance practices and fiduciary responsibilities follow those of an incorporated entity, even though CET is an unincorporated joint venture. Senior industry representatives make up the majority of the Board and the External Advisory Group (EAG). The ten member EAG provides essential external advice on research priorities and projects, and feedback on research outputs.
