This is the home of the Global eduroam Governance Committee space.

The Global eduroam Governance Committee was constituted in November 2010 and currently comprises fifteen senior representatives of roaming operators in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, North America and Europe. Secretariat support is provided by the GÉANT Association, which finalised the charter for global eduroam governance after extensive consultation with eduroam leaders from these regions. The GeGC members are officially appointed by the GÉANT Association on the basis of nominations from their regional roaming operators or confederation.

The GÉANT organisation coordinates and supports the Global eduroam Governance Committee (GeGC), which sets technical and organisational standards for the service and authorises compliant ROs to provide eduroam around the world.
