Each major contributing institution will appoint one member to the VEC, to serve for three years. At the beginning of each calendar year, the VEC will elect one of their members to act as Chairman for the year.
The Membership of the Collaboration may be modified with a two-thirds vote of the VEC. Other decisions of the VEC will be decided by simple majority; in the event of a tie the Chairman shall have the casting vote.
The Project Scientist and Project Manager will be non-voting members of the VEC (except when they also serve as representatives of Collaboration groups).
