NCSD’s members are appointed by the delegating organisations based on their own decision rules. The leaders of the relevant organisations are requested by NCSD’s president to appoint their delegates. Civil organisations – with the exception of green organisations which delegate prospective members at their annual national meetings – make their decisions in selection forums.

The work of the Council’s members is supported by the Secretariat.
