This page will be updated regularly as more questions are asked.

Can anyone apply to be elected?

No, only individual, enterprise, and seed funder members can apply for a seat. Associate members are not eligible.

Is voting based on ada?

No, it is one member one vote so each member will have one vote for each seat

When are the application deadlines?

Applications will open on March 24 and close on April 11 at 12PM UTC.

How do I apply?

The application form will be accessible through the member portal. Here is the

How do I vote?

All voting will be conducted through the , where members can find more details.

How will we ensure that the committee work doesn’t stop?

The elections are divided into two phases: 50% of the seats were elected in October 2024, and the remaining 50% will be elected in April 2025.

Can I still get involved if I don’t want to sit on a Committee?
Who will vote on the chair role?

We propose the community-elected committee self-elect a chair within two weeks of the election result.

Can a council or consortium apply for a seat?

No, it is one person one seat.

Where can I find out more about the committees?
Will the Intersect Steering Committee (previously also known as Exec Committee) also be part of the election?

Yes, the community seats for this committee will be part of the election.

Can an enterprise sponsored members candidate themselves for elections?

Yes, if you are a member of an organization which is paying for an Enterprise membership and for your membership too, then you can apply to be a candidate and you can also vote in the election.

Please note your affiliation with your organization in the application form.

If I am elected to a committee seat can I still be part of Working Groups and Special Interest Groups

Yes, any member can participate in Working Groups and Special Interest Groups. This is actively encouraged.

How can I support Intersect as an Associate

Associates are very much welcome to participate in Town Halls, Working Groups and Special Interest Groups.

I am an employee of a seed funder organisation, can I vote?

As an employee of a seed funder organisation you are not eligible to vote, however if you personally join Intersect as an individual member then you will be able to vote through this membership.

Is there a limit on the number of seats that enterprise members, including founding organizations, can occupy per committee?

Yes, the current rule states that an enterprise member can hold a maximum of one seat per committee. However, this is still under review, so there may be future adjustments. There is an exception for the Product Committee and the Technical Steering Committee, where an enterprise member can hold up to two seats.

What happens if I’m elected to both the ISC and another committee?

If a candidate is nominated or elected to both the ISC and another committee, they are encouraged to prioritize their seat on the ISC. In this case, the candidate would step down from their seat on the other committee, allowing the next eligible candidate to take their place.

Can I be part of more than one committee if elected?

While it’s possible, we strongly recommend that community members join no more than two elected committees. Each role typically requires around 20 hours of commitment per month, and taking on more than two could affect your ability to contribute effectively and sustainably.

Will the Intersect Committee Elections be audited?

Yes, the entire end-to-end Intersect Committee Elections process will be audited by DQuadrant. All relevant information and datasets will be appropriately shared with the audit team to ensure transparency and accountability.

Yes, we have a variety of Working Groups, Special Interest Groups and other initiatives you can get involved in. Feel free to reach out to us via email
