Apollo Protocol Initiative seeks applications for Executive Board and Steering Group

[Su Butcher]

The Apollo Protocol Initiative is seeking applications to join its inaugural Executive Board and Steering Group.

A new governance structure is being set up to take forward the work of the Apollo Protocol initiative, which is developing a common language for digital twins and information management by facilitating open cross-sector collaboration.

Following the publication of its original white paper in 2022 the team has successfully established and tested a methodology for cross-sector collaboration and will shortly publish the outcomes of this work. The new governance structure will take forward the initiative and build on the approach.  

If you’re keen to further the work of the initiative, either by active individual participation in the Executive Board or as a source of strategic guidance and advice in the Steering Group, please consider applying.

Individuals are invited to express interest in the Executive Board and the Steering Group.

• The Executive Board will be selected by the Interim Board of the Apollo Protocol. It will provide the long-term strategic direction for the Protocol and its enabling mechanisms, overseeing the maintenance and use of its assets. Membership will be by individual representation and meetings will be at least monthly. Positions within the board, such as chair, will be appointed once the executive board group is selected; however please state within your application if you would like to apply for chair stating your reasons.
• The Steering Group will be non-executive and provide oversight as a group to the Executive Board. It will be selected by the Executive Board and will meet quarterly. Members of the Steering Group will be a representative mix of individuals and organisations who are subject matter experts and other interested parties across data management and the digital twin landscape.

Details of the roles and responsibilities are set out in the open Terms of Reference on GitHub:
