e. The TOB shall be composed of nine (9) individuals elected for their expertise, contribution to the advancement of container technologies and are considered to be thought leaders in the OCI ecosystem. Anyone may be elected to the TOB, regardless of whether the individual is an employee of an OCI Member, so long as they are an OCI TDC participant.

The initial TOB will have four (4) TOB members who will only serve for a term of one year and five (5) TOB members that serve for a term of two (2) years.
g. The initial TOB shall be established through a nomination and election process. The first group from which four (4) TOB members shall be elected, will be nominated and elected by the current TDC maintainers, initially identified in Section 4(e), and serve for a period of one (1) year. Each TDC maintainer may nominate up to two (2) candidates for election, except that only one (1) nominee may be employed by the TDC maintainer’s own company.
