Technical Council
The TEI Technical Council is responsible for the development and maintenance of the TEI Guidelines and related TEI systems and resources. It recommends, evaluates, and implements new features and modifications of existing features, and supervises the overall development of each new version of the Guidelines. At the TEI annual members' meeting, the Council presents a report on current work, and minutes are available from the meetings of the Council as well. The archives of the mailing list are publicly accessible and ongoing and past work can be seen in the TEI's GitHub site.
The TEI Technical Council consists of eleven members elected to staggered three-year terms by the TEI membership at the Annual Meeting. The Council meets twice a year in person, and holds a telephone conference call every month. Although not currently used, the TEI Council has in the past used the TEI Council Wiki Page to organize agendas or other information relating to its meetings.
