WICF Steering Committee Governance
Information
In accordance with the charter, the Steering Committee consists of no more than 14 members.  In
2009 the Charter was changed to add in specific terms for Steering Committee members. In early
2010, terms were randomly assigned to all members that were elected prior to November 2009 so
that terms rules could be enforced.

In addition, the Steering Committee may appoint a liaison from WECC or NERC who does not perform
a monitoring or enforcement role in any Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program that relates
to the NERC Reliability Standards.  Such appointment does not carry a specified term.

Terms are for a period of three (3) years, with no limit of total terms, with no more than one-third
turnover of the Steering Committee at any given election. They may be changed to ensure that no more
than 1/3 of the Steering Committee gets turned over each year.
