1.4 Governance System of the ECNGOC<br />
The Provincial Assembly is the organisation’s highest<br />
authority, comprising all member organisations. It meets<br />
bi-annually to consider and decide on strategy and to<br />
confirm the incoming Provincial Executive Committee (PEC)<br />
and alter, vary or amend the Constitution, as well as normal<br />
administrative business. A small Provincial Council with<br />
lesser powers meets in the years between the Provincial<br />
Assembly.<br />
The PEC governs the Coalition between Provincial<br />
Assemblies, generally meeting quarterly. Members are<br />
nominated to a PEC selection committee that selects and<br />
recommends members for approval by the outgoing PEC.<br />
The PEC members represent the 6 districts and 2 metros.<br />
Additional members can be appointed from outside the<br />
membership according to the expertise and knowledge<br />
they bring to the PEC.<br />
Prior to the Provincial Assembly each district holds District<br />
General Meetings (DGMs) for members to attend and<br />
discuss issues to address at the Provincial Assembly. Each<br />
DGM elects an honorary District Convenor who acts as the<br />
link between the members in that district, the PEC and the<br />
secretariat.<br />
Members of the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC), District Convening Organizations (DCOs)<br />
and staff members at ECNGOC’s Biennial General Meeting (BGM) 2017.<br />
