The TAC is the forum where future rules are discussed by the 10 team technical directors and the governing body, with F1’s technical chief Pat Symonds also contributing.
In the wake of the Qatar GP, the issue of high cockpit temperatures, which had not previously been on the radar, has been added to the agenda for the virtual gathering on 31 October.
The FIA has already promised a full analysis of what happened in Qatar and its implications.
One of the challenges is that cooling equipment, whether part of the drivers’ kit or the car itself, inevitably means adding weight.
"We're going to talk about it at the next TAC,” Symonds told Autosport. “The FIA are doing some work on it, and I’m doing some work on it. It's not totally straightforward.
“Indycars have different vent arrangements at different times. They are quite into their cool suits, which I think are a couple of kilogrammes, they're not the end of the world.
"You decide what performance you get from weight. So if you are talking about a couple of kilogrammes for a cool suit, for example, you can figure out what that costs you in physics.
“You can't exactly work out what you gain with the driver, but there will be a point at which you say actually the driver is going to have a drinks bottle.”
