The work of the CC will be conducted according to these thematic chapters, which reflect the membership structure of the CC.

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.

Consultative Committee Workspace

All CC members, regardless of membership type, have access to the relevant UPU documents within each thematic chapter. All information is available on the dedicated CC page here.
