Governance
Each PAN is governed by its own Policy Advisory Leadership Team (PALT), which functions as moderator for any and all feedback received from the broader AIIA membership as part of the Policy Advisory Engagement process for special interest areas and policy consultations.
The PALTs are subject to a Terms of Reference, which defines their roles and responsibilities within the AIIA.
