The general meeting defines FNN policy and elects the members of the forum.

The forum is in charge of handling FNN topics; it defines priorities and balances the work and resources between the three steering committees.

The steering committees are in charge of the work carried out by project groups and approve the results obtained.

The project groups are responsible for the professional quality of their rules/results.
