The Working Group Chairs play a crucial role in driving the Working Group, including a leadership role in the drafting of the Position Paper, communicating key messages to the Chinese and European governments, and chairing Working Group meetings. The desired characteristics of a Chair or Vice Chair are a senior industry representative with relevant expertise and government contacts who has the time and willingness to support the group. It is possible to have a maximum of one Chair and two Vice Chairs for the Working Group.
Please find attached two documents which provide further detail about becoming a Working Group Chair/Vice-Chair (‘Code of Conduct’ and ‘Roles and Responsibilities’).
