youthHansa

The Hanseatic Youth Commission (HYC) comprises five young people who are entitled to vote and who have equal rights and duties. It represents the youthHansa outside of the Hansa Conventions and coordinates the necessary organisational measures. There is no Chairperson, but the members of the Commission determine one (or at most two) Spokesperson(s) who represent the youthHansa at Assembly meetings of the HANSE and at Commission meetings of the HANSE, and on official occasions. Allocation of seats is regulated as follows:

• The Hanseatic City of Lübeck has a standing seat in the Hanseatic Youth Commission. That symbolises the traditional Presidency of Lübeck in the historic Hanseatic League. The Lübeck delegate is elected for a term of two years, and may be re-elected.
• The two Hanseatic towns/cities in which the subsequent Hansa Conventions are to be held each have one seat in the Hanseatic Youth Commission. They are likewise elected for a term of two years.
• The other two seats in the Hanseatic Youth Commission are allocated on proposal from all the youth delegates at a Hansa Convention, by simple majority. They are elected for a term of two years, and may be re-elected.
