+The Virtual Observatory (VO) is the vision that astronomical datasets and other
+resources should work as a seamless whole. Many projects and data centres
+worldwide are working towards this goal. The International Virtual Observatory
+Alliance (IVOA) is an organisation that debates and agrees the technical
+standards that are needed to make the VO possible. It also acts as a focus for
+VO aspirations, a framework for discussing and sharing VO ideas and technology,
+and body for promoting and publicising the VO.
+
+To learn more about the IVOA as an organisation, read the
+"[About](/pages/about/)" section.
+
+To learn more about the VO from a user's point of view, including how to find VO
+tools and services, read the "[Astronomers](/pages/astronomers/)" section. There
+is also a page about the [VO for students and the public](/pages/astronomers/vo_for_public/).
+
+To learn how to publish VO services, or write VO-compatible software, start by
+reading the "[Deployers/Developers](/deployers)" section.
+
+Internal IVOA discussions are publicly viewable in the "[Members](members)"
+section.

They are tasked with building consensus in the WG and community, assure coordination between WG/IG & the Committee for Science Priorities (CSP), liaison with the Executive committee, and support committee roles in the IVOA documents and standards process. TCG membership has a 3 year term with a possible 1 year extension. Members of the astronomical community are welcome to get involved in the IVOA and to consider a role in the TCG.
Here are several links to get involved:
