  • Governing Body Commission (GBC) is the name for the managerial authority of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). ISKCON's founder, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, created the GBC in 1970 and since that time it has met on an annual basis. It is organised largely through a Zonal system, with certain members looking after specific locations, and then group decisions being made in regards to general issues. Thomas A. Forsthoefel, Cynthia Ann Humes writes: At the GBC's first annual meeting in Mayapur Prabhupada guided the proceedings, "showing how the GBC should strictly follow parliamentary procedure. Zones are assigned to one or more secretaries. A certain section of the world usually falls into the jurisdiction of a specific zonal secretary even if there is no ISKCON center there. . Membership of ISKCON is guided by GBC and according to a GBC confidence survey "those holding critical views of the GBC were far less committed to ISKCON." As of March 2008, Ramai Swami is the chairman of ISKCON's Governing Body Commission. (en)
