Three Sections
The council is organized in three sections:
- The European Section
- The North American, Caribbean and Bermuda Section
- 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.
