ICoC Steering Committee
Paragraph 11 of the ICoC calls for the creation of a Steering Committee which is responsible for
developing and documenting the initial arrangements for the independent
governance and oversight mechanism, including by-laws or a charter which will
outline mandate and governing policies for the mechanism.
After the 9 November 2011 Signatory Conference, members from the three stakeholder communities chose representatives for the Steering Committee. The Committee consists
of three Participants and one possible Auxiliary Member from each of three stakeholder
groups: governments, companies, and civil society organizations. Decision-making is to be made through consensus, with voting possible in those rare cases where consensus cannot be reached. If a vote is required, then at least one member from each stakeholder community must vote in favour for the vote to pass.
The representatives on the Steering Committee are:
Industry:
Mark DeWitt, Triple Canopy
Andrew Nicholson, Drum Cussac
Brent Wegner, GardaWorld
