<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">The PHM global governance renewal process aims to ensure representation
of active PHM structures in the Steering Council; to encourage the development
of young leadership while honoring experience; and to include principles of
transparency, renewal and participation. This resulted in some SC members stepping
down allowing space for young health activists who have demonstrated commitment
and capacity within their region and globally. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">The SC is the principal decision making body of PHM. The main task of
the SC is to provide strategic guidance to the movement, promoting the People’s
Charter for Health, developing positions and ensuring fluent two way communications
between the PHM and the region/network/program they represent. Communication
with country circles is an important function of regional representatives.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">PHM aims to have at last one face to face meeting per year but that is
dependent on sufficient funding. Decisions between meetings are made using
email and Skype and are supported by advice from the Coordinating Committee (CoCo). </p><br><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">The Global Steering Council now consists of representatives of</p>
<ul><li><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>The regional structures of the PHM (each region
is constituted <span> </span>by one or more country
circle),</li><li><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span>PHM global programs,</li><li><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">A principle of rotation has been built into the new governance
structure, recognizing a need for both continuity and change. As such, each
Committee would function for 3 years, and no person would be on the committee
for more than two terms. Representation would rotate between different active
countries in a region and between networks. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">Please find below a link to the email addresses of the confirmed <b>new SC
regional and program representatives</b>. We will continue to update this as representation is
finalized. Please note that the affiliated Networks will elect representatives in the next few months and the seats for the Networks are thus
vacant until the affiliated networks decide on their representation. </p>
