The primary role of the WCSFP Steering Committee is the co-ordination of programming and sessions at the annual Congress conference. Steering Committee members are elected for two-year terms by delegates. There is no limit to the number of terms a Steering Committee member may serve. There are generally eight voting members of the Steering Committee, plus the board directors. Steering Committee nominations are drawn from conference delegates and any delegate may nominate himself or herself. Preferences will be given to nominees that ensure a spread of producers and broadcasters from each of Europe, North America and the Asia/Pacific region, as determined by the serving Steering Committee at the time.
There will be an election for four Steering Committee positions for 2010. Three representatives will be for two-year terms, specifically:
- a representative (independent producer) from Europe
- a broadcaster from Europe
- a broadcaster from North America
One representative for a one-year term, specifically:
- a representative (broadcaster or producer) from Germany (host country for 2010)
