  The eighth unit of description Technical Committees: General contains documents related to the management of technical committees.

The Negotiating Council established the seven technical committees. Technical committees were instruments of the Negotiating Council for the production of systematic documentation to facilitate discussions and negotiations in the Negotiating Council. They were not negotiating bodies. They largely functioned to advise and formulate specific texts, which were then submitted to the Negotiating Council for review.

Depending on the outcome of the review, formulations were either passed on to the Negotiating Forum or returned to the technical committees for refinement. The Planning Committee was tasked with managing and coordinating the work of the technical committees.
