Council Meetings

The Council has taken various forms over its now more than three-decade history. Initially an ad hoc organisation closely linked to the organising committee of the present round of the Championships, it has evolved into an independent, representative body with broad powers. The Council's prerogative today comprises the ability to reform the rules and structure of the competition, to enact initiatives to achieve goals like regional and gender diversity, and to select and audit hosts for the WUDC.
