How the Show Is Governed
The consortium runs on a framework built for logic, adequacy, transparency, repeatability and efficiency — from a five-member Executive Board down to the working committees.
Executive Board
Sets the consortium's strategic plan, decides the bigger issues critical to its success, and provides oversight so the consortium's actions never conflict with stakeholder interests.
