Overall total 41

Delegates may be represented by other individuals, who must themselves be authorised as representatives by the regional company. They serve a four-year term of office. The present term of office runs until the end of 2011. Also invited to meetings are the Chairman of the Staff Association, who concludes the Collective Employment Agreement (CEA), and a representative of Management.

The powers of the Delegates' Meeting are laid down in the statutes. In addition to the statutory business that is incumbent upon a general meeting under company law, the Delegates' Meeting approves the appointment of the Director General in response to the proposal from the Board of Directors, and also approves the Board of Directors' proposals on media policy-related changes to the Charter, and SRG's annual report on quality and public service. The Delegates' Meeting issues the Compensation Regulations for itself and the Board of Directors, and it may decide on applications to the Federal Council concerning the level of the licence fee. It determines the annual budget allocations to the regional companies, as it did for the first time on 30 November 2010. It may also refer proposals for audits of the public service remit and of service quality to the Board of Directors, which must respond within six months. Furthermore, the Delegates' Meeting acknowledges the Organisational Regulations and reports on strategy and strategy implementation. The Delegates' Meeting convenes at least twice a year.
