Commit to actively participate in the activities of the CCWG on an on-going and long-term basis;

Solicit and communicate (where appropriate) the views and concerns of individuals in the organization that appoints them;

Commit to abide to the charter when participating in the CCWG;

The Governmental Advisory Committee advises the ICANN Board on issues of public policy, and especially where there may be an interaction between ICANN's activities or policies and national laws or international agreements. It usually does so as part of a Communiqué, which is published towards the end of every ICANN meeting.
