The Advisory Council is a partnership of advisors and organizational supporters, which will meet once a month by online conference call to share insights, answer structural design questions and think through challenges to meeting the mission of the CCEN, which is to ensure any voice from anywhere with an idea worth sharing can be heard in the global conversation. Members of the Advisory Council may be individuals or institutions, and may choose to support the CCEN through regular consultation or through collaboration in the planning of events, according to their own discretion. The aim is to enhance and expand opportunities for citizen participation in global decision-making.
