Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) initiative is currently seeking nominations to fill elected positions on three governing bodies; the Steering Committee, Technical Advisory Committee and Marketing/Brand Committee. These committees play a crucial role in the strategy and direction of the Software Defined Vehicle Initiative:
Nomination Eligibility
Participant Members:
All individuals who are employed by an organisation that is a Participant member of the SDV may stand for election. The current Participant Members of the SDV can be viewed here.
Committer Members:
Committer Members are those who are engaged in projects under the purview of SDV. Committers may be considered members by virtue of either a) being employed by an SDV corporate member, or b) an individual committer who has executed the Eclipse Foundation Membership Agreement in order to attain the rights, privileges and obligations of a Committer Member. If you are interested but unsure if you are a committer member, please reach out to us and/or learn more here.
A reminder that Strategic Members each have a representative appointed to these committees and thus Strategic member organisations do not participate in this election.

Note; Each Member may have at most one individual stand for election to any particular committee.
Election Process
After the nomination period closes, the list of candidates will be confirmed and announced.
Ballots will then be distributed to all Participant Member Organizations via email (one ballot per organization).
The election will follow the Eclipse Foundation's "Single Transferable Vote" method, as outlined in the Eclipse Foundation Bylaws. The winning candidates will be announced on this mailing list after the voting period closes.
Call to Action
We encourage all Participant and Committer Members to actively participate in this election process by nominating qualified candidates or standing for election themselves. Your involvement is crucial in shaping the strategic future SDV.
