WAC Council

The Council is the main governing body of WAC between meetings of the Assembly and carries into effect the policies established by the Assembly, including the receipt of annual reports from international organising committees. It is hoped that the Council is able to meet annually.

The members of the Council are:

a] the Officers of WAC;
b] two representatives from each Regional Electoral College, a Senior Representative and a Junior Representative.
c] eight representatives of Indigenous peoples/the Fourth World to be appointed by organisations such as the World Council of Indigenous Peoples, and the International Indian Treaty Council for a limited period as determined from time to time by the Council.
