Tasks

reviewing and reporting on measurements of T – T₉₀ and T – T₂₀₀₀;

recommending key comparisons in contact thermometry to the CCT;

reviewing the research and application of primary contact thermometers to realize the kelvin;

updating the Mise en Pratique of the definition of the kelvin;

updating the Guide to the Realization of the ITS-90;

reviewing novel contact thermometry techniques.
