The specific responsibilities are set in the NeoNephos Charter, but they include

- Requesting foundational resources like infrastructure, event planning support or funding from the GB.
- Deciding on new technical projects (with GB)

The TAC is composed as a mixture of membership based representation and open-to-all-merit-based representation. The following roles are the minimum roles for a functioning TAC.
The Premier Representatives represent the interest of their respective Premier Member.
Each technical project has a representative in the TAC. This is usually the Chairperson of the Technical Steering Committee but may also be another delegate.
The Chairperson leads the meetings, sets the agenda and decides on day-to-day operational decisions. In addition, the chair also functions as TAC Representative on the Governing Board.
