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.
