It was known as the Permanent Commission of the FIDE for Chess Compositions (PCCC) from its inception in 1956 until October 2010. It is now independent from FIDE, but both organisations are cooperating. Currently 40 countries are represented in the WFCC.

The original PCCC was created in 1956, with the first meeting at Budapest in 1956.
Subsequently, the commission has met every year except 1963 and 1970.
