NEESPI Organizational Structure

The complete organizational structure for the NEESPI is under development. Consultation with international participants in the development process regarding the organizational structure will be realized before any formal structure will be established. Therefore, the information included on this page is intended primarily to generally represent the current situation in November 2006 regarding established points of contact for the NEESPI within a loose international framework. Other international participants will be identified on this page when their leadership roles in the NEESPI are confirmed by their sponsoring organizations.

NEESPI Project – Project Offices and Points of Contact:

(It is anticipated that European Union, China, Japan and other countries as well as other sponsoring agencies will establish comparable leadership positions as the Initiative evolves)
