The
Software
Defined Vehicle Working Group Charter
identifies the committees which drive various aspects of the working group for which there are annual elected positions to be filled. This election is focused on elections for the: Steering Committee, Technical Advisory Committee, and the Marketing/Brand
Committee. Please note at this time the Specification Committee is not yet formed and as a result is not included in this election.
Strategic
members each have a representative appointed to all the committees and thus do not participate in this election. The elected positions will be for
two
Participant Member seats and one
Committer Member seat for each active committee.
Through
this email, we are announcing the Eclipse Foundation will hold elections on behalf of the working group using the proposed timetable listed below:
