Based on a global comparative analysis, an aspiring goal for parliaments in the area of “presidium” is as follows:

• The constitution and/or other aspects of the legal framework define the composition of the presidium and establish its mandate as the collective governing body of parliament.
• The presidium is representative of the political configuration of parliament. It is chaired by the Speaker and includes the Deputy Speaker(s), the chairs of parliamentary committees and the leaders of political groups.
• The presidium organizes the work of parliament, coordinates the work of committees, drafts the agenda for plenary sessions and decides on other operational issues of importance.
• The frequency and timing of presidium meetings, as well as the openness of its meetings, are established in parliament’s rules of procedure. 

Based on a global comparative analysis, an aspiring goal for parliaments in the area of “Speaker” is as follows:

• The legal framework defines the mandate, role, functions and duties of the Speaker, and establishes the rules for electing the Speaker and their term of office.
• The Speaker is mandated to coordinate and manage the work of the parliamentary bodies, to manage the overall functioning of parliament or a chamber, to preside over sessions and to exercise full administrative powers within the parliament or chamber.
• The Speaker discharges their duties impartially and neutrally, manages the floor fairly, provides equal opportunities for all political groups and members to engage in debates, and distributes parliamentary resources equitably.
• The Speaker is responsible for enforcing parliament’s rules of procedure and codes of conduct, and has the power to call to order and discipline any MP who breaches those rules.
• The Speaker enjoys privileged material status, including higher remuneration and a personal apparatus with sufficient members of staff.
