SUN Movement Secretariat **

* On June 3, 2015, the SUN CSN Steering Group decided on the establishment of an academic sub-committee to coordinate academia and science contribution through the SUN Civil Society Network linking and aligned to broader SUN discussions on the role of science in the SUN Movement. The current standing Steering Group members also agreed that the lead of this sub-committee would sit in on the SUN CSN Steering Group as a member with other academic members sitting in as observers. At present Vishweshwaraiah Prakash and Michael Krawinkel are coordinating the process to establish the academic sub-group, define its mandate and agree on the leadership of the group.

** A representative of the SUN Movement Secretariat will continue to take part in SUN CSN Steering group calls and meetings on an observer basis.
