Committee responsibilites are as below (quoted from the constitution),
but basically the committee will run everything relating to the LUG.

   3. Committee

         1. The Committee shall run the society on behalf of the
            members, pursuant to the objectives of this constitution.

         2. Committee decisions shall be decided by way of a majority
            vote.

         3. The quorum for all votes held by the Committee shall be
            three members.

         4. The Committee shall elect a Chairman from amongst its
            members. The Chairman may use his casting vote when a
            Committee Vote is otherwise tied.
                                         
         5. The Committee may appoint members of the group to named
            positions (eg. Treasurer, Electoral Officer, etc.) for a
            term of not longer than one year. There is no limit to the
            number of terms that any one person may serve in such a
            role, however.
