The governing body of World Cons is the
World Science Fiction Society


From the page of the WSFS:
The purposes of the WSFS, according to its rules,
are as follows:
too choose the recipients of the annual Hugo Awards (Science Fiction Achievement Awards),
to choose the locations and Committees for the annual World Science Fiction Conventions (the Worldcons),
to attend those Worldcons,
and to choose the locations and Committees for the occasional North American Science Fiction Conventions (the NASFiCs).
(A NASFiC is held in North America in any year where the WorldCon is outside of North America.)
