Currently the formal roles identified within the CARMA Network are limited to the Steering Committee and herd "contacts".
Individuals on the Steering Committee help guide the progress of CARMA (overall priorities, developing implementation plan) as well as having specific "Component" responsibilities.

Data management - everyone
Communication/education - everyone
Within CARMA we have identified a number of "reference" herds that we will pay particular attention. Those individuals identified as reference herd contacts ensure that the status and content for their herds are kept up to date and historical data is shared with the Network.
