Working Committees of the Communal Councils
The Working Committees are units within the Communal Councils, made up of elected representatives within the members of these councils, and convened around specific themes and issues: health, education, sports, energy, etc. They are formed by those people within each Council who know the subject or the work to be done especially well. These have the possibility to plan, implement, control and evaluate concrete projects in each community. The number of Working Committees that can be created and the themes covered by them depend on the needs of each community and can be determined by each Council.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
