Each thematic chapter will be represented by a rapporteur.

The rapporteur will be elected and appointed by the CC for a period of four years to:

  • represent the thematic chapter,
  • present any opinions developed by the CC and provide input to the relevant CA and POC commit­tees and working groups,
  • report to the CC and its members, and
  • propose appropriate responses to and positions on work proposals and working drafts.

Sub-themes and sub-rapporteurs may be appointed by individual chapter rapporteurs on a needs basis. 

For any CC member interested in becoming a thematic chapter member, please inform the CC Secretariat which specific chapters you wish to be a member of.
