+TC. The UCP Governance Council may decide to conduct elections at any time if
+there are open seats.

+  ecosystem and vendor-agnostic architecture.

+  protocol by endorsing, implementing, and promoting the protocol.

+  growth of the protocol by contributing via issues, PRs, etc.
+
+## Vacating an existing seat

+by informing the TC. The open seats will be considered for the upcoming
+election.
