The Governance Body is currently composed of 11 individuals, half of whom were elected by the 45+ European fact-checking organisations who helped create the EFCSN. The profiles of the current Governance Body can be seen here. This body is tasked with ensuring the EFCSN achieves its mission, which includes making the final decision of the applications of new members. Future Governance Bodies will be fully elected by the members of the network.
