The Founding Member seats are occupied by General Electric and IBM. Four seats are held by Contributing Members and consist of four-year terms; these seats are currently held by SAP until September 2019 and Bosch, EMC and Huawei until September 2020.

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.
