The nominations for the Steering Committee Election 2022 are in!

We have 12 candidates in the running for 6 seats on the Steering Committee at DIF. Review the nominees and their profiles here, or simply refer to the list at the end of this article.

Voting opens Friday 3rd June for 1 week, and closes at 23:59 GMT on Friday 10th June 2022. Voting in SC elections is a privilege of DIF Associate Membership, you can read more about our membership structure here.

There is one ballot per DIF member organization, and each ballot can contain up to 6 names (1 per SC seat).

Associate DIF members should have already received their ballot via email. If this is not the case, please contact nominations@identity.foundation.

Votes are confidential, and will not be published.

We aim to have the votes counted and verified by the 17th June, after which we will publicly welcome our incoming SC members. Each SC member sits on the committee for a term of two years, where they represent DIF membership and help refine the vision, goals and strategy of our organization.

Our current sitting Steering Committee members are listed on our homepage here.

We are keen for you to get involved and have your say at DIF! Attend our monthly all-hands meeting or our weekly Comms calls (see DIF calendar here), or reach out to us at nominations@identity.foundation with your questions or feedback!
