Abstract
Commission 46 is a commission somewhat out of the ordinary and can in some ways be considered as an extended arm of the Executive Committee of the IAU. National Committees or Adhering Bodies in each member country nominate one person per country to be the national representative to the Commission. The National Representative maintains liaison between the Commission and the home country, writes a national triennial report on the development of astronomy education and votes on financial matters. Other IAU astronomers, with a special interest in education, can become regular individual members of the Commission. Non-IAU members can be invited by the Commission to serve for one triennial term, this is renewable.
