How to Represent a JUG on an Expert Group of a JSR:

If you wish to represent a JUG on an Expert Group of a JSR, you must have an individual Java Specification Participation Agreement (JSPA) on file with the PMO, and your current employer must have signed an Exhibit B for that specific JSR to accompany that JSPA. If you do not already have an individual JCP Membership, you will need to submit a JSPA for individuals, following the instructions for individuals. You must submit one Exhibit B for each JSR you wish to join.

After you have completed your individual Membership and have an Exhibit B signed by your current employer for this JSR, you should log on to jcp.org using your JUG account (NOT your individual Membership account) and fill out the Expert Group nomination form. As with any Expert Group nomination, your acceptance is subject to approval by the Spec Lead (and Expert Group, if there is one already).
