Επικυρωτικό Συμβούλιο
Κάποιες αποφάσεις ξεπερνούν τη δικαιοδοσία της Συντονιστικής Επιτροπής. Καθώς αυτές ενδέχεται μερικές φορές να πρέπει γρήγορα να επικυρωθούν,όμως δεν είναι δυνατόν κινητοποιηθούν όλα τα μέλη του DiEM25 προκειμένου να ψηφίσουν μέσα σε ασφυκτικές προθεσμίες, θεσπίστηκε ένα επικυρωτικό Συμβούλιο, αποτελούμενο από 100 μέλη, τα οποία εκλέγονται με κλήρωση. Μπορείτε να λάβετε σχετικές πληροφορίες στον ιστότοπο του κινήματος και συγκεκριμένα στις Οργανωτικές Αρχές.
According to the new Organising Principles, any DiEM25 member with voting rights (i.e. verified identity, up-to-date membership fee) can be randomly picked for the Validating Council at any time. You do not need to apply anymore.

Ran for the Left party in the last European election and Czech parliament election, but not party member. PhD in chemistry, a low rank position in the Czech Academy of Sciences, no carrier to boast of, but gaining enough, and having come from a family rich enough, to belong to the middle strata of the Czech society and to live relatively well without any immediate danger.

I accept the position with pleasure. |
| Ben Scobie | Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο | Currently working in Outdoor Education following a couple of years working in Public Affairs where I saw first hand the ways in which our political system works against positive change.

| Nora Sternmann | Γερμανία | I am a 40 year old German tech worker, supporting both Diem25 and Mera25, based in Berlin.

| John Sutton | Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο | I am a 70 years old British retired computer professional with a lifelong interest in Russian and German politics and culture. I am a physicist and mathematician by education. I am increasingly involved in activism for Palestine and believe that this "single" issue is perhaps the key that could unlock the door to the future that we all want. Perhaps this is why it is so hard? I am conflicted by my desire for disarmament and my desire to see the Ukrainians prevail. I think it very important, not least for Russia, that Russia is defeated, and I have tried to make that argument in internal discussions within DiEM25. I did not succeed as yet. |

I divide my time between Belgrade and Istanbul, working in my family’s lutherie business. I usually find plenty of faults with collectives and political parties, and generally don’t like belonging to them. DiEM25 is probably the exception, mainly because it is a transnational and progressive movement that makes sense to me. |
| Jozef van Kessel | Ολλανδία | I am well educated as an environmental scientist. I nearly finished a masters degree in international and European law (still have to write a final thesis). |
| Francesco Varani | Ισπανία | I'm an Italian Electronic Engineer, living in Barcelona. |
| Vaclav Vavrycuk | Γερμανία | I’m a member of MERA25 Berlin and active in its Radical Democracy group.
