Every year, the Java community elects representatives to seats on the Java Community Process Executive Committee, per section 3.7.4 of the JCP document. These 18 EC Members serve for two years, attending EC meetings, participating in working groups, reviewing and voting on JSRs, providing guidance to the Program Management Office, and shaping the future direction of the Java ecosystem. Of the 18 members of the Executive Committee, 11 of the EC Members are ratified by JCP Members, 4 are elected by JCP Members, 2 are elected by Associate JCP Members, and 1 permanent seat is held by Oracle.
