Ambassador Council
This page explains the role and constitution of the Ambassador Council of the Open Constitution network.
The members of the Ambassador Council work with the following community guidelines:
Meetings:
2. The Ambassador Council President(s) may convene to meet the Executive Council or other members of the Open Council through an electronic meeting, in addition to the monthly Council meetings, to contribute to their roles and responsibilities.
