Committee Meetings

The Global Public Communications Committee participates in US meetings of the ICI Public Communications Committee and holds one in-person meeting per year in London. It may organise other gatherings when circumstances permit.

Membership Information

ICI members may designate two representatives from their firm as their primary member on the Global Public Communications Committee. Additional colleagues may have access under the guidelines below.

Colleague Access

Colleague Access gives committee representatives the ability to designate co-workers (i.e., non‑committee members) to view committee memos and materials online, receive notification of memos addressed to the committee via ICI Digest and participate in committee calls and meetings.

As committees may deal with confidential policy topics involving draft comment letters and conference calls, ICI limits the number of colleagues per firm who can be designated for Colleague Access. Only committee representatives (not alternates or substitutes) can activate Colleague Access, and colleagues must be employed by the committee member’s firm.

Global Public Communications Committee representatives may designate as many as five individuals for Colleague Access.
