•  the role and function of each layer along with the membership of the meeting, who the chairperson is, any standing agenda and the outputs.

•  the informal dispute escalation procedure, prior to any dispute entering formal mediation/arbitration.

•  any regular progress and/or project management reporting requirements including the provision of reports, their purpose, scope and content and the process for any reviews.
