working groups
Each forum is able to set up a certain number of working groups focusing on
specific policy issues. Each working group has a specific remit and tasks, for
example preparing a position paper on a particular topic, or managing
activities such as a European project or campaign.
Each working group
consists of individuals, nominated by member cities, who are considered as
having relevant knowledge and expertise. Each working group is chaired by a
member city, which is also responsible for reporting back to the relevant forum
on the results achieved.
