The global chamber meetings are an opportunity for members to provide their thoughts on the final motion text and define their general chamber positions on the motions.
Motions and methodology
On 15 September, members will meet with their respective chambers to discuss the final motion text, identify priority motions for the chamber and define their general positions on the motions. Then on 22 September, each chamber will share their general positions on the motions with the other chambers.
The current motions text is available online here, and the final version can be accessed through the same link on 03 September 2022.
Please note that in the original membership engagement plan there were 4 chamber meetings scheduled in September. However, in order to allow members the ability to discuss the motions during the week of the General Assembly, FSC has now reduced this to 2 meetings in September and 2 meetings during the week of the General Assembly.

FSC members vote for the FSC Board of Directors who are accountable to the members. The Board of Directors have the responsibility of monitoring the work of FSC, particularly that the motions passed at the General Assembly are being put forward.

Delegates also include certification bodies, certificate holders, union representatives, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and observers.
