Applications Now Available: Expanded DMTF Board SeatsThe DMTF Board recently voted to expand the total number of Board seats from 14 to 16, creating two additional seats. We kindly request applications to fill these seats.These new seats would have terms from June 1, 2008 through March 31, 2011.

The DMTF Board is responsible for the overall direction, strategy and activity of DMTF, including managing DMTF finances, approving technical and marketing initiatives, and leading DMTF committee work. Board member companies currently pay an annual DMTF membership fee of $30,000 and are required to attend monthly Board meetings, which alternate between face-to-face meetings and teleconferences. At the DMTF Special Meeting of the Members on May 22, an election will be held to select members to fill both of the new Board seats. Each voting member in good standing will be allowed to vote for two members maximum. A member must receive votes from at least a majority of the eligible voting members to be elected.
