Open CSA activities are managed by a Steering Committee that consists of seven members. Each member serves a two-year term. For consistency of management, terms are staggered so that four seats expire one year and the other three expire the following year.

Steering Committee representatives are nominated and elected by the Open CSA membership in an open process. The selection of the Steering Committee is based on individual merit and is not tied to financial contribution, corporate standing, or special appointment.
