Officers
Participating national organisations are represented by two national members on the ICG Council.
The Council elects the administration of the ICG, that is the members of the Management Board (President, Vice-President, Executive Secretary, Honorary Treasurer and Chair of CTC), Steering Committee and Coordinating Technical Committee (CTC).
The CTC supervises and coordinates the activities of the various Technical Committees (TCs) which carry out applied scientific investigations.
The TCs report to the CTC which in turn is responsible to the Steering.

The next meeting of the Steering Committee and the Coordinating Technical Committee takes place on 10/11th of November near Venice, Italy.
In addition an Advisory Committee has been created to work on non-technical topics which are relevant for the ICG. The AC will connect the ICG network with other relevant bodies of the glass community.
