Process
Self-nominations are welcome and common. TEI-C membership is not a requirement to serve on the Board or Council. All nominees who choose to accept their nomination will be asked to provide a brief statement of interest and biographical paragraph, and to give notice that, if elected, they will be willing to serve.
Once nominations are received and registered, the named person will be asked for:
- formal acceptance of the nomination by 30 July

All nominees are reminded that it is the duty of members of both bodies to participate actively in the discussion, activities, and meetings of their respective body.
The TEI-C seeks to represent its community and encourages diversity and gender balance in all its constituencies. It provides a welcoming environment for all.
TEI-C Board
The TEI-C Board is the governing body for the TEI Consortium and is responsible for its strategic and financial oversight. The Board conducts its business by email correspondence, monthly teleconferences, and at its annual meeting, for which travel subsidies are available.

TEI-C Technical Council
The TEI-C Technical Council oversees the technical development of the TEI Guidelines.

Council members also evaluate bug reports and feature requests, and they have primary responsibility for editing and updating the Guidelines and its release packages. Prospective candidates should be available for subsidized travel to one or two face-to-face meetings annually, monthly teleconferences, and they should be able to commit to ongoing work during the course of the year.
