RISC’s founding trade associations – BSIA, DMA, Intellect and SBAC – will each hold a permanent seat on the Council.

The 4 trade associations will form a nomination committee charged with ensuring that nominations do not duplicate company names, that the overall mix of the council is suitably representative and that the arrangements for incremental change in membership work effectively

Chair of RISC will be an elected position, with nominees drawn from the industrial membership of RISC. The position will first be offered to the members represented on the RISC Council but if this does not result in an appointment being made then RISC members may be asked to invite applications from outside the Council membership.

The RISC Executive group will consist of the Chair, along with their immediate predecessor (known as the Past Chair) and immediate successor (Future Chair) as well as the Secretariat. This is in order to provide continuity from year to year, and allow each new incumbent to become acclimatised prior to assuming the role.
