The Multilateral Forum shall be composed of members with a balanced representation between government-public bodies and non-profit organisations.
Recognizing the need for flexibility and gradual adaptation to Greek conditions, three alternative composition models are proposed:
Model A — Compact (16 members: 8+8)
Ideal for a quick start with a smaller number of members that facilitates coordination and quorum achievement. It is suitable for a pilot phase that will allow testing the operating mechanisms before expansion.
Model B – Optimum (18 members: 9+9)
It offers a balance between broad representation and effective functioning. Corresponding in size to the Australian Multilateral Forum.
Model C – Full (22 members: 11+11)
It provides maximum representation, following the Italian model that has been established and has been operating successfully since 2022. It is suitable for wider participation and coverage of more thematic areas.
Government members (according to the full model — 11 seats, proportional reduction to the smallest):
- Representative of the Ministry of Digital Governance (Government Coordinator)
- Representatives of the Ministries of the Interior and Justice
- Representative of the National Transparency Authority
- Two representatives of the Regions (alternates)
- Two representatives of Municipalities through KEDE
- Representative of an Independent Authority (alternate)
- Two representatives of other Ministries (alternates)
Non-governmental members (according to the full model — 11 seats, proportional reduction to the smallest):
- Five NGO representatives (openness, transparency, accountability)
- Two academic/research community representatives
- Representative of journalistic associations
- Representative of the technological community
- Representative of a youth organisation
- Representative of organisation of vulnerable groups
The choice of the final model will take into account the available resources, the maturity of the ecosystem and the possibility of support from the Secretariat. Gradual scaling is possible, starting with a smaller model.
