may, from time to time, appoint a committee or committees to investigate and
advise the Commission on any aspect of its functions under this or any other

exercise such of the powers of the Commission under this or any other written
law as the Commission may determine.
(2) The carrying out
of any duty or the exercise of any power by a committee of the Commission does
not relieve the Commission of the responsibility for the decisions of that
committee.

consist of such persons as the Commission determines, whether members of the
Commission or persons who are not such members, but so that in every case not
less than one member of the Commission shall be a member of the committee.
(4) Each committee
appointed by the Commission shall report to the Commission on its activities
at such times as the Commission directs.
