Network members are committed to the Blue Dot Network vision and promote the Blue Dot Network, but do not contribute financially. Current Network members include Canada, Czechia, Peru, Montenegro and Republic of Palau.
The Blue Dot Network Steering Committee is the governing body for the Blue Dot Network and is composed of representatives of the Governing members. The Steering Committee provides strategic direction for the Blue Dot Network and supervises the Blue Dot Network Secretariat.
The Blue Dot Network Secretariat implements the Blue Dot Network certification, engages with private sector stakeholders and infrastructure standard setters through the BDN Executive Consultation Group (ECG) and supports the BDN Steering Committee. It operates as an independent entity, hosted at the OECD, subject to its own governance structure. Edwin Lau has served as the inaugural Acting Head of the BDN Secretariat since its launch in May 2024. As of October 2025, the OECD has appointed Edwin as the permanent Head of the Blue Dot Network Secretariat with a mandate to promote infrastructure as an asset class through independent and standardised certification and to help scale private infrastructure investment in emerging economies.
