2026 GSSB meetings
Learn more about the GSSB's meetings by accessing agendas, discussion documents and Livestream sessions from current or past proceedings.
As established in the GSSB Terms of Reference, the meetings of the GSSB ‘shall be open to the public, but certain discussions (normally about selection, appointment and other administrative issues) may be held in private at the discretion of the GSSB’.
The GSSB therefore publishes the agenda, the documents to be discussed, and a link to the Livestream on this page, approximately two weeks prior to each meeting. Information regarding GSSB meetings held in 2026 can be found below in due course. Archive of the previous years' GSSB meetings can be found here.
