Cochrane, a global independent network of researchers, professionals, patients, carers, and people interested in health, has announced the appointment of the first two external members of the Cochrane Steering Group (CSG) - Marguerite Koster and Catherine Marshall.
The CSG has undertaken these appointments within its existing powers to co-opt external members as required, and potentially as the first step in Cochrane's proposed re-structure of the CSG into the Cochrane Board. The governance re-structure is undergoing consultation with the Cochrane community during 2016, and Cochrane Groups will have the final vote on the proposal at the 2016 Annual General Meeting, during the Cochrane Colloquium in Seoul.
