The Free Geek Community Council is the group responsible for the long term vision of Free Geek. It enacts policy that is:

  • overarching, affecting all of Free Geeks, OR
  • cross-group, not as big as overarching, but affects multiple groups (if those groups can't coordinate the policy on their own), OR
  • controversial in nature.

Any volunteer or worker can be a member of the council.
