The Dutch NPOC effectively consists of five pillars. They comprise academics as well practitioners in the field of space activities, whether from industry, from government, from service providers or related entities, or from law firms. The second pillar consists of the General Meetings, which take place annually, and include a guest lecture on a topical subject of space law or space activities, followed by discussions. Afterwards, Minutes of the Meetings are made and sent around. The Workshops are open not only to Dutch NPOC or other ECSL members, but to all persons so interested.
Participation is free.
Generally, some 30 to 40 persons participate in these Workshops. Since late 1994, as a fourth pillar a Newsletter is sent around at irregular intervals, drawing attention where relevant to Dutch NPOC activities, ECSL activities, other NPOC s activities, or any other activities or events potentially of interest to the Dutch NPOC members. Effectively, the fifth pillar concerns the activities of ECSL to which the Dutch NPOC contributes substantially.
