The Industrial Internet Consortium Steering Committee has nine members (plus the Executive Director, ex-officio), each of whom is affiliated with an Industrial Internet Consortium member company. Seats held by Contributing Members consist of four-year terms; these seats are currently held by Dell EMC, Huawei, Microsoft and Purdue.
The remaining Steering Committee seats are for two-year term and consist of two representatives from large industry members, one representative from small industry, and one representative from academia, nonprofit and government members. In the 2017-2018 election and beyond, seats up for election will be for two-year terms. Seats are filled by a vote of the members within each level, with the exception of the Contributing Member which is a four-year term voted on by the Founding and Contributing Members.
