The organisational structure of the R3TF

The R3TF is a non-profit foundation. The foundation board provides its governance. The operational board, chaired by the R3TF Director, oversees its activities. Most work is undertaken on a voluntary basis by interested people and organisations. To ensure that specific (larger) tasks are performed, the Foundation retains consultants to assist in these tasks.
