Fundamentals
The World Social Forum is a self-management process, i.e. there is not a central coordination to decide what will happen at the event. Each collective, base group, interest groups, network of movements and international organizations decide what and how the activities will be done at the WSF. That means the Brazilian Committee and the Facilitator Group have the task to create all conditions in order to make the best of this self-management dynamic such as ensuring the welcoming of people, the registrations, infrastructure, security, information, equipments, space for the activities, solidarity accommodation etc.
The Work Groups congregate people and organizations that are grouped by specific activity areas in order to speed up and facilitating the addressing of activities. They are not an instance of decisions and can be open or not, depending on its tasks and necessities.
