The TEI Council is responsible for the technical development of the TEI DTD. It recommends, evaluates, and implements new features and modifications of existing features, and supervises the overall development of each new version of the Guidelines. At the TEI annual members' meeting, the Council presents a report on current work, and reports are available from the meetings of the Council as well.
The TEI Council consists of twelve members. The Chair of the Board of Directors and one other Board member serve on the Council; the other members are elected to staggered two-year terms by the TEI membership at the annual Members' Meeting. The Council meets once or twice a year in person, and holds a telephone conference call roughly every other month.
