There are presently 24 EASA Networks. Some are extremely active and provide their membership with a lively scientific environment organizing workshops, panels at international conferences, coordinating publications, and using internet to convene e-seminars and debates. In all likelihood Network activity will expand in the future and will require developing a new governance structure. Some issues were raised by conveners at the EASA collective meeting of Networks, for example, the need to keep track of membership, the convenience of developing formal procedures for electing conveners, the procedural argument for identifying the network official panel at the EASA meetings, etc. These are important questions that will need to be addressed by the future Executive Committee.
