Governance

Coordinator

Named individual leading the Committee.

How the laws define this

Regulators uniformly define a coordinator as a designated authority responsible for leading and convening working groups or bodies, directing operational or administrative activities, consolidating technical inputs, and managing reporting and communication across participants. These instruments consistently grant the coordinator power to organize day-to-day execution, establish subgroups, and deliver output to higher leadership or governing councils. The primary distinction among these frameworks lies in whether the coordinator is an individual person or an entire institution. In Resolución 16/2024, Resolução CITDIGITAL nº 2/2025, and Portaria nº 8/2025, the coordinator is a specific designated individual or ministry representative tasked with directing committee work and operational procedures. Conversely, under the Institutional and Coordination Framework for the Digital Transformation of Slovakia, the coordinator is a designated ministry or agency serving as a national institutional coordinator responsible for maintaining roadmaps and consolidating policy implementation across the government.
