..:: Policy Formulation and Structure

The Global Policy on Enabling Trust in the Digital World, proposed by the GTC is, by definition, global in nature. However, there will be a need to provide international adaptations of the policy to meet international needs and national versions to meet specific national needs whilst retaining a user-centric approach which respects individual privacy and integrity, national culture and appropriate legal requirements. In short, there cannot be one single policy to address all issues.

To provide the appropriate level of governance and direction, the GTC has recruited and supports the GTC International Council. Highly respected members are drawn from all nations.

The overall policy and specific policies are formulated by subject experts tasked and managed by the GTC Secretariat which works in a close partnership with the International Council members to address areas of specific interest.

The GTC Secretariat subject experts cover the areas of Technology, Organizational, Legal and Economics. Through a process of iteration with Council members effective policies are developed and maintained to support national, international and industry specific requirements.
