Three Sections

 The council is organized in three sections:

  1. The European Section
  2. The North American, Caribbean and Bermuda Section
  3. The Southern Hemisphere, Asia and Far East Section.

The Council is led by a rotating executive group of three representatives (one from each section) and a team of appointed officers in the Secretariat. The Presidency is rotated annually amongst the sections.

A Finance Committee ensures the correctness and the transparency of the financial aspects of the organization.
