A standing committee is a Governing Council committee only if its existence and charge comes from the Governing Council, regardless of whether or not Council members sit on the committee. All standing committees are accountable directly to the Governing Council.
The committees listed below are linked to the Terms of Reference within the Governing Councils Governance Policies.
NOTE: All Governing Council Committee meetings are closed to the public.
The Governing Council may strike ad hoc committees for a specific task and limited time as required. Committee members are selected with due regard for their specialized skills and expertise, and their representation of the geographic regions served by UCN.
