• TERM The members at large of the executive
  committee shall serve terms of office so that one

  to 3 terms. OEM and technology provider members
  may not succeed themselves in office unless there
  are no other nominees after an appropriate

  members organization, with approval from the
  Chairman, may name a successor. Otherwise,
  vacancies that occur during a term of office may
  be filled by the Executive Committee for the
  duration of the unexpired term.
