We are now calling for nominations to represent the RISC-V International Strategic and Premier TSC members as well as Community members on the RISC-V Board of Directors!
Nominations are welcome May 2 through June 30. Voting will take place July 1 – July 31, with new representatives installed at the board meeting on August 18. You can self nominate using the form below and eligible candidates will be featured on this page as they are received. The following seats will be elected:
Board membership is an important responsibility. Elected Directors are members of and vote on behalf of their respective membership tier. Directors are expected to attend all board meetings, which are currently held at 7am Pacific time on the third Thursday of each month. At these meetings, they will represent the other RISC-V members at their level in discussions as well as votes, and will make themselves available for regular communication with the other members at their level. Representatives will vote on behalf of their membership tier, not for their specific companies. For more guidance on board member expectations and requirements, see Article 1 of the Internal Regulations.
Each board seat lasts for two years, provided that the Director’s organization remains a member in good standing during that time. All members of RISC-V International in good standing may nominate representatives between May 2 and June 30. All members of RISC-V International in good standing between July 1 – 31 may vote on the nominations. Ballot links will be sent to the voting member of record on July 1. Each member may vote only once. For those members unable to vote using this method, we can accommodate votes by email. Please note that nominations and votes can only be recorded by members of RISC-V International.
These are the important dates for this election:
You can nominate yourself using the form below. Approved nominations will be added to this page upon acceptance. Please contact the program managers at elections@riscv.org with any questions.

Professor
Biography:
Stefan is a professor at Munich University of Applied Sciences. He is a long term advocate and active member of the open source silicon community, most prominent in his role as director of the Free and Open Source Silicon Foundation (FOSSi Foundation). He has been active in various RISC-V projects over the last six years. Stefan was involved in the debug task group and has recently become chair of the RISC-V SIG “Academia & Education”.
Comments on why I want to be on the RISC-V Board of Directors:
I was happy to get elected in the last term and over the last term I was able to highlight the role of individual contributors in the process of shaping the RISC-V ecosystem. While the community’s role developed evolutionary, the success of enterprises has changed the way the RISC-V community operates. I am confident that I can help shaping a cooperative framework of community contributors and company contributors, to the overall gain of the RISC-V vision. As a concrete plan I have discussed before about better visibility of gaps in the standardization, development and cooperation procedures, for example in the form of a rather fine grain ticket system, that motivates community members to pick up smaller up to medium tasks in their area of expertise. I would be happy if you elect me into a second term to continue this work, and happy to support anyone you may feel can do a better job and continuing this work.
