The Foundation
Board & Governance
The Foundation’s elected Board of Directors is composed of representatives from Registration Agencies and Members, who are responsible for overseeing the governance of the DOI Foundation and appointing a Managing Agent. The Board convenes multiple times each year to monitor the organisation’s strategic direction and financial well-being. While senior staff from member or agency organisations may attend board meetings, only Board Directors hold voting rights.
An Executive Committee is also in place, which includes a Chair, Vice-Chair, and Treasurer. Board members serve on a voluntary basis and do not receive compensation for their contributions to the Foundation.

Everything we do is centered on assisting our Registration Agencies (RAs) and fellow Member organizations. In turn, these RAs offer important services to their respective communities. They also play a role in guiding the DOI Foundation and collaborate through our unified framework to maintain high standards and share expertise to improve what they provide.
This cooperative network — our social backbone — is just as critical to lasting stability as the technical systems that drive the DOI infrastructure.
