No, not without authorization.
Participants may not create unofficial GRA groups, committees, chapters, councils, country desks, National Desks, Stewardship Councils, sector platforms, rooms, events, sponsor briefings, investor meetings, insurer meetings, or public authority sessions using the GRA name unless that structure has been approved and recorded.
Unofficial groups create risk because participants may assume they are official. Sponsors may believe they are supporting an approved pathway. Public authorities may believe the group has standing. Investors or insurers may believe access is being offered.
If there is a need for a group, submit a request through the official pathway. The request should define purpose, country scope, sector scope, participants, governance, public-language rules, conflict controls, and recordkeeping method.
Community initiative is welcome. Unofficial authority is not.
