# Core Working Committee

Foundation's community shall appoint and constitute several Core Working Committees(CWCs), as member bodies within the Foundation's Open Constitution.

These CWCs shall be linked to the different organs of the Foundation, namely different Councils of this global cooperative.

CWCs generally comprise subject matter researchers, such as members affiliated with STEM(Science Technology Engineering Mathematics). 

CWC members may also come from diverse fields of industry, academia, art and music.
