Organizational Chart of the FDT Group

The Group is headed by a Board of Directors, elected by the General Assembly. The Board of directors decides on the Group’s strategy and appoints an Executive Committee which is responsible for the execution.

The strategy’s practical implementation is assigned to several working groups responsible for technology development, marketing, associations & standardization, and administration.  A special Work Group is dedicated to organizing Users Forums as the key platform for end users to give their input and feedback.
