Our network rules and guiding principles for network governance

This Document:

1. This document gives clarity to CAN and its members about the way the CAN network is organised and works. It also gives other readers a description of CAN.
2. CAN is a network of over 700 member organisations from 90 countries. These members are autonomous and independent.
3. Many of these members have their own forms of organisation and their own national or regional rules.
4. In joining the CAN network, members all contributed to producing these constitutional rules and guidelines for the CAN network.
5. This document tends to facilitate and enable decision-making, rather than prescribe rules.
