Who We Are & How to Get Involved
The Special Interest Group on Public Affairs and Policy (SIG-PA) has successfully moved beyond its developmental phase and is now actively establishing its governance structure. We are pleased to confirm that an initial cohort of dedicated Steering Committee (SC) members is now in place to guide our strategic direction.
We remain open to participation and encourage other interested candidates to join our expanding initiative.
The Constitutional Meeting of the SIG-PA will be held in January, immediately following our Public Affairs Workshop, officially marking the start of our mandate. If you are interested in joining the SIG, please send an email to schaefer@dfn.de

WHAT?
The SIG is collectively led by its Steering Committee (SC) of 3-5 voluntary members who are nominated by its participants and appointed by GÉANT for a two-year term of office that is interruptible and/or renewable.
The SC is responsible for the business of the SIG. The SC takes decisions primarily by consensus or by simple majority within the SC. If a decision cannot be made, GÉANT is responsible for the decision.
The SC is also responsible for producing brief annual reports to GÉANT about the progress of the SIG according to the pre-defined yearly plan and Key Performance Indicators. (See the Charter.)
