According to the agreement between Japanese government and UNESCO (following the Japanese cabinet decision on 3rd March, 2006), an Advisory Board is setup for giving advice to the activities of ICHARM. This meeting is made up of up to 13 members commissioned by the Chief Executive of PWRI, which should include six regional members elected by the Intergovernmental Council of UNESO-IHP and a representative of the Director General of UNESCO. In principle, the board meets once in every two years. Based on the advice from the meeting, the Chief Executive of PWRI makes the final decision on the work plan and budget of ICHARM.
