The Istio Steering Committee was formed to oversee the administrative aspects of the project, including governance, branding, and marketing. Steering was created to allow the Technical Oversight Committee to exclusively focus on the technical aspects of the project.

For February 2021 to January 2022, the nine Contribution Seats were allocated per the agreed formula and process.
Every year, four members of the Steering Committee are voted on by the community. Check out the 2021 election guide.
The Istio Steering Committee meets weekly. Given the nature of the discussions in Steering, meetings are not currently open to the public. Questions around governance are listed as issues in the community repo, and we invite your feedback there.
If you'd like to reach out to the committee please drop a note to steering@discuss.istio.io or contact any of the individuals listed above on discuss.istio.io or on GitHub.
