The Coalition for the International Criminal Court actively participated in the Rome Conference — monitoring the negotiations, producing daily information for worldwide distribution and facilitating the participation and parallel activities of the more than NGOs which attended.
The CICC coordinated the input of civil society organizations through Issue Teams that closely followed discussions on particular provisions of the draft statute. Civil society is credited with some of the most important aspects of the Statute, such as its strong provisions for gender crimes and the independence of the prosecutor. The Preparatory Commission PrepCom was charged with completing the establishment and smooth functioning of the Court by negotiating complementary documents, including the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, the Elements of Crimes, the Relationship Agreement between the Court and the United Nations, the Financial Regulations, the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the Court.
Under the umbrella of the Coalition, NGOs worked in teams at each session to follow the negotiations on each issue and provide their expert input, gathered on a daily basis to discuss the negotiations, produced notes and reports on the sessions for widespread distribution, prepared papers and statements on the substantive issues, met with governments individually and in government groupings, held press briefings and participated in strategy sessions on the ratification and implementation campaign.

In , the Council, which had previously been administered by MCC, gained its own secretariat and chief executive, though its headquarters remained at Lord's.
The category of Foundation Member was abolished. The tournament was not a success. There was no further meeting of the Conference until , when the main discussions centered on the use of eight-ball overs. Five years went by without a further meeting, but in , MCC sent a team to the West Indies, a visit of particular interest to Lord Harris, who had spent his early years in Trinidad.
A West Indies side came close to beating MCC in Georgetown and this performance strengthened the home side's resolve to join the Test-playing countries. Later that summer, Lord Harris presided at a second meeting at The Oval, where it was agreed that the membership of the ICC should comprise, 'governing bodies of cricket in countries within the Empire to which cricket teams are sent, or which send teams to England.
From now onward, the ICC met on an almost annual basis except during the war years.
