The CAIWG (pronounced kay-wig) is the Civilian Agency Industry Working Group (CAIWG).  

The CAIWG provides a forum for the open exchange of government and industry views on performance-based systems, including Earned Value Management (EVM).

The structure of the organization allows it to function as a coordinating organization between the Federal Civilian Agencies, the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), and the Department of Defense.
