Activities at network level are coordinated by various governance bodies assisted by a team of network coordinators, who are based in different countries depending on the location of the body they support. The Network Executive Committee consists of four Steering Groups (SGs): Operations, Global Voice, Governance, Resources and Growth. Each SG is composed of communities of experts from the respective activity areas. Each community is supported by a coordinator.
