OAB Membership 

The OAB consists of up to twelve elected members including two co-chairs. OAB members are elected for two years; there are currently no restrictions on re-election.

The OAB chooses one co-chair annually for a term of two years. Co-chairs can renominate if they wish to, subject to rules listed in the full document that describes the election process. The two co-chairs coordinate the work of the OAB, and at least one of the co-chairs participates as a consensus-forming but non-voting member of the RDA Council.
