All cities wishing to contribute to the growth of an equal and sustainable Information Society are welcomed to join the Global Cities Dialogue. The most important aspect for GCD is the personal commitment of the Mayors or High Political Representatives and their will to actively cooperate with the other members.

To strengthen the network at the global level, active cities outside Europe are elected as official “Vice-Chair Cities of the Global Cities Dialogue” for their regions or respective continent. In this purpose each region with a Vice-Chair City organises at least one GCD-event per year in order to promote the philosophy of the network and to give the GCD-members the opportunity to meet, discuss and cooperate at the regional level. Applications for this position have to be sent to the GCD-presidency.

Membership in the Global Cities Dialogue is subjected to the new adopted constitution approved in November 2010: the GCD-cities contribute for sharing operational costs. Subscriptions are to be paid to the Treasurer once a year, latest on 1 April of the concerned year. For more information please visit the following link.
