Chicon 7 is administered under the rules and auspices of the World Science Fiction Society (referred to by the abbreviation "WSFS"), which has governed Worldcons for the past seventy years. WSFS will have a business meeting at Chicon to consider changes to its constitution, and to announce the results of the site selection vote for the 2014 Worldcon.

WSFS also has a number of standing committees to perform tasks assigned from the business meeting. Among these is the Mark Protection Committee, which protects the service marks of the World Science Fiction Society (including the name "Worldcon") used by Worldcon each year.
