In order to function effectively, the Open-ended Intergovernmental Expert Group Meeting (IEG) on Cybercrime needs to organize and prepare its work carefully and in advance. Such tasks are carried out by the Bureau and the extended Bureau of the Open-ended Intergovernmental Expert Group Meeting on Cybercrime. At its 1st meeting on 17 January 2011 the expert group elected its Bureau members. Pursuant to resolution 22/7, in 2016 the Secretariat assisted Member States in reconvening the Bureau of the Expert Group, in accordance with the rules of procedure of the functional commissions of the Economic and Social Council.
