Structure and organization of the GRG Society
The Society has no permanent paid staff. The supreme body within the
Society is its General Assembly, which all members may take part
in. The General Assembly elects the three officers who form the
Executive, the 24 members of the Committee, which additionally includes 4
representatives appointed by IUPAP, and the Auditors. One third of the
Committee is elected at each election, and members represent
geographical regions. The General Assembly has the ultimate
authority. It meets every three years and there is provision for
emergency meetings.
The General Assembly also elects a Nominating Committee whose job
is to make sufficient nominations for the elections which (except
those of Secretary and Auditor) must be contested. The Committee
decides three years in advance which ``regions'' will be represented
at the next elections, doing so in such a way as to obtain "a
reasonable representation of geographical regions where the members of
the Society reside."
