Three Sections
The council is organized in three sections:
- The EMEA: European, Middle East & African Section
- The Americas Section
- The Asia & Oceania 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.
