Each ChAC representative has the opportunity to bring any issue they feel is relevant to Internet Society chapters to the ChAC Steering Committee.

The ChAC Steering Committee is a group of nine (9) geographically diverse members elected from among the ChAC representatives to lead the Committee’s discussions and draft recommendations on the topics brought forward by the chapters.
