Leaders do not only take part. They create.
Members may propose, establish and lead Councils and Initiatives on the issues where they can contribute most. The Institution supports, expands and amplifies their work. Each Council carries its own seal, drawn from its name.

Review
The Institution assesses alignment with the Charter, independence and capacity.
Constitute
The Council is chartered, receives its seal, and appoints its Chair.
