Some tasks will be repetitive, meaning the CC will have to continue to do the task at certain times. Other tasks may involve cooperation between one or more other departments which can be coordinated by the CC and/or the DoPA Minister and the Minister(s) of the other department(s). Extensions can be provided to deadlines on most tasks, if given a valid reason for the extension.
