| **Special Interest Group (SIG)** is one of the three types of OMG Subgroups, a SIG may be chartered by any one of the three Plenary Bodies. Unlike Task Forces (TFs), SIGs may not recommend issuance of [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:r:rfp|RFP]]s or adoption of technology to their Parent Body, nor may they issue [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:r:rfi|RFI]]s although they may issue Surveys which serve the same function as an RFI but carry a different name. Typically, SIGs function as discussion groups and/or technology incubators, i.e, primary authors of RFPs or RFIs. Occasionally a SIG will be disbanded and its Parent Body will [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:charter|charter]] a TF with a similar name and function, typically after a period of several months to a year or more during which the SIG has demonstrated that its membership could sustain the effort necessary to recommend and maintain adopted technology. | **Special Interest Group (SIG)** is one of the three types of OMG Subgroups, a SIG may be chartered by any one of the three Plenary Bodies.
