Bureau

“Following a decision taken at the 61st session of the ICCROM Council, two standing committees, the Academic Advisory Committee and the Finance and Programme Committee, were amalgamated into one standing committee known as the Advisory Committee. Subsequently, at the 65th session of the Council, it was decided that the role of the Deputy Chairpersons of the Council should be strengthened and that, together with the Chairperson of the Council, they should be responsible for communicating regularly with other Council members to keep them abreast of developing issues. It was further decided to abolish the Advisory Committee and that the Council would create ad hoc committees or working groups to consider issues as they arose. The Chairperson and the Deputy Chairpersons are now known as the Bureau of the Council and it maintains close contacts with the Secretariat in between Council meetings.”
