GCCN representatives are drawn from our members, nominated by the GCCN Linkage Groups and ratified by the GCCN Plenary.
Linkage Groups are sub-groups of GCCN that meet on a thematic basis to discuss key policy areas & issues. GCCN has six Linkage Groups, which are open to all members as well as non-members. The role of the Linkage Groups is to:
In undertaking this work each Linkage Group is guided by the GCCN policies and positions which are agreed collectively by the members of the network at the GCCN Plenary. Representatives nominated by a Linkage Group are formally ratified at the next meeting of the GCCN Plenary.
