The SHLC-PP Consortium is composed of 18
legal entities.
The Governing Board (GB) is the top-level decision
making and arbitration body. It has one representative from each
participant in the project and includes the Management Team (Project Coordinator, Deputy Project Coordinator
and Administrative Manager).
Each of the 18 members has one vote and decisions will be
taken by simple majority. The GB will have the power to decide, upon
Steering Committee proposals, on strategic issues, such as modifications
of the project programme (if necessary), admission of new participants
during the Preparatory Phase.
The Governing Board will review the progress of the
project at the annual SLHC-PP meetings, and, where necessary, decides on
changes in the work plan and budget allocation for the next reporting
period. During the Preparatory Phase project, the GB will meet once a
year with intermediate phone meetings, if required. The chair of the GB
will be elected by its members.
