TAG Leadership Nominations 2026
The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) leadership elections are designed with a two-year cycle to provide a structured transition period. This ensures that leadership cycles overlap, maintaining continuity while allowing dedicated leaders to step away if their priorities have shifted.
Election Guidelines
- Incumbents: Current Chairs and Tech Leads are welcome to stand for re-election.
- Nominations: There are no restrictions against self-nomination or nominating others for another term.
- Support: For questions, please reach out via the #toc Slack channel or email cncf-toc@lists.cncf.io.
