- Appointing members to the various standing committees and working groups.
- Establishing a contact system for formal communication with NSOs.
- Appointing strategic links to oversee the implementation of the Regional Triennial Plan, including resolutions and strategic priorities.

- Analysing the financial report presented by the Regional Treasurer.
Key decisions and actions
To ensure effective work throughout the triennium, the Committee:
