ORG Structure

• ORG policy is informed by an Advisory Council, consisting of a large group of technology experts, academics and activists.

• ORG is overseen by a Board of Directors, two of whom are elected every two years by our members. None of our Advisory Council members or directors are paid.

• Our legal panel includes barristers and solicitors who help us with our work. We may also pass on relevant requests for legal assistance to this panel.

• Our Corporate Supporters support our work and help us to campaign more effectively. In particular Mythic Beasts help us host our servers and AAISP support our Blocked project.

• ORG is a member organisation of European Digital Rights (EDRi).
