10. Integrity. Requiring candidates to indicate if they are aware of any aspect which, if disclosed publicly, would reflect adversely on PTC, credibility, and a passion for supporting and furthering PTC’s mission globally
Candidates with several years in the business, government, non-profit, professional services, or academic sectors, as well as experience in serving on senior-level decision-making boards, are ideal to make a substantial contribution to the deliberations of the Council.
1. Who is eligible to vote?
Each PTC member (corporate, non-profit, individual) is entitled to ONE (1) vote. The company’s Primary, Alternate or PR representative will receive the election notice. The first representative that votes is accepted and blocks any other vote.
2. How are the representatives designated for each member company?
Each member company designates a Primary, Alternate or PR representative. Typically, these representatives are assigned upon setting up the company membership, but changes can be made when the company roster is approved each year, or on an ad-hoc basis by emailing membership@ptc.org.
3. Can a company have more than one representative on the AC? On the BG? On both?
A company may have one representative on the AC and one on the BG at the same time. They cannot have two or more on the AC, nor on the BG at one time.
4. Can a company and their subsidiary be on the AC or BG at the same time?
Yes, ONLY if they both are separate members. If both the main company and subsidiary is one membership, there can only be one representative.

No, they must choose between one or the other. They cannot be on the final AC and BG ballot for both.
6. How does one determine which region and category to represent?
The category is determined by the type of membership you have (for-profit, non-profit, individual, etc.) The region can be determined by many factors. 1) where your company is incorporated; 2) where you pay taxes; and 3) the location of your brick and mortar office building, in which you work.
7. Can a person running for election be part of the Succession Planning Committee?
Yes. They can help with the early logistics. Once the nominations, elections and representatives are discussed, they can no longer be a party to any information. They will be recused from all further meetings until after the election process is completed.
1. Is an AC or BG member expected to be at each meeting?
Yes, the member is expected to be at each meeting. If one cannot attend, contact the secretariat to give his/her regrets.
2. Can I have a substitute represent me?
You must be present yourself or wait to receive a summary of the notes.
The BG is the principal decision-making instrument of the Council and is responsible for overall policy,
strategic direction and planning, and financial oversight of the Council.
A new member of the BG should expect to participate in a pair of face-to-face meetings at the time of
PTC’s Annual Conference in Honolulu. New BG members are invited Saturday before the start of the
conference for a joint meeting with the outgoing BG members to gain an understanding of the issues
under consideration.
BG members annually select their Chair; the BG Chair also serves as President of PTC. Other officer
positions including the Treasurer, who chairs the Budget and Finance Committee, are elected by the BG
members annually. Task forces or sub-committees are generally established and members identified.
Typical subjects might include:
The BG meets quarterly video/teleconference that lasts one hour. There are possibly other instances in
which BG members will be called to attend more than one video/teleconference. There may be one
additional in-person meeting scheduled, during another event where a quorum of BG members may
attend.
The Executive Officers of the BG—Chair/President, Vice President(s), Secretary, and Treasurer—serve as
an executive committee and may be engaged in more frequent communication and meetings as necessary.
Time Commitment:
Like all voluntary organizations, the actual time commitment to Council-related activities is highly varied.
The overall BG workload is largely self-determined and is difficult to predict. The best BG members have
busy professional lives but make the time to participate fully in the BG. PTC is especially in need of leaders
who are willing and able to promote PTC externally and actively engage in the work of the organization.
Benefits:
Individuals serving on the BG benefit in many ways. These benefits include engaging and developing longstanding friendships with a network of senior-level colleagues from the entire digital infrastructure,
telecoms, and ICT ecosystem; gaining a platform to help shape the future of the industry; and elevating
one’s public leadership profile. BG members are given the privilege of working with the Secretariat to
continue the tradition of excellence at PTC.

AC Notes: There is a maximum of 38 elected and 13 appointed members on the AC at any time. There are 29 elected seats available for the AC election held in Fall 2024 for four-year terms beginning January 2025.
Information Regarding the PTC Advisory Council (AC)
The AC is a distinguished group of telecommunications professionals elected to assist the PTC Board of
Governors (BG) in the governance of PTC as a whole.
A new member of the AC is expected to be familiar with the PTC Bylaws. Once elected, the member will
typically participate in a face-to-face meeting at the time of the annual PTC conference in January. Should
a member not be able to attend in person, the PTC Bylaws permit attendance through teleconference.
The new Advisory Council assumes its role formally at the conference, and new AC members should plan
to spend an appropriate time in Honolulu for this, along with other, committee meetings.
The AC itself elects a Chair and Vice Chair(s) at the first formal meeting at the PTC Annual Conference and
serve two-year terms.
The AC considers topics and questions for study that might be posed to it by the BG. Some of the tasks
involving the AC in the past include developing the current vision and mission statements, providing input
for membership development and outreach, and reviewing the PTC Bylaws and Strategic Plan. The
Succession Planning Committee (SPC), which is responsible for organizing the elections for the BG and AC,
is part of the AC.
AC members are often called upon to serve in areas including conference and program planning
committees. All AC members are encouraged to contribute suggestions for the Annual Conference and
seminars.
AC members must participate in at least two formal meetings a year either in person or through a
teleconference. Preparation for the meetings might involve reviewing reports, participating in Task Forces
and committees including teleconferences for these activities.
Time Commitment:
Like all voluntary organizations, the actual time commitment is highly varied and depends on each person’s
availability and commitment to the Council. The minimum time would be two meetings per year at least
one of which is usually all by teleconference. An average time might be two to four hours a month.
Positions of the AC Chair and Vice Chair and members of the SPC demand the most time commitment
(approximately eight hours per month). The workload is largely determined by requests of the Board and is
difficult to predict.
The rules, terms, and guidelines for the PTC leadership elections—Board of Governors (BG) [every year] and Advisory Council (AC) [every other year]—are part of the PTC Bylaws. The procedures for the elections, including nominations and polling, are established by the Succession Planning Committee (SPC), an independent committee of the AC. The SPC maintains the interpretation of the Bylaws and ensures procedures for the elections follow both the letter and spirit intended.
Below are the essential rules, terms, and guidelines for the BG and AC elections.*
*This document is only a summary of the main rules and guidelines. Additional provisions apply (please see Article V for the BG and Article VI for the AC) as described in the PTC Bylaws available here.
Thank you for your interest in covering PTC’25. Our team will review your materials and be in touch with you soon.

The world is constantly faced with many challenges, global threats from natural disasters to cyberattacks, and outbreaks like the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

Thanks to the widespread deployment of information and communication technologies (ICT), in some ways, the world is more prepared to tackle these obstacles and face new realities.
