Currently, 5 elected Board seats are chosen through a pair of processes:
- an election, [one active editor/one vote], governed by a Board-appointed elections committee. (3 seats)
- a selection, [one affiliate group/one vote], governed by Affiliates-approved election facilitators. (2 seats)
There are historically guidelines for evaluating qualifications of candidates, and for skills being sought in each year's tranche of trustees, but these are only recommendations, with few hard requirements to qualify as a candidate.
