+# 2026 Knative Steering Committee End User Seat
+
+## Purpose
+
+This document describes the process for filling the end user representative
+for Knative Steering Committee. The newly appointed representative will serve a
+one (1) year term.
+
+## Background
+
+In 2021 it was decided that after a Steering Committee election there would be an additional election for an end-user seat on the committee. The goal is to give end-users a voice on the Steering Committee.
+
+## Eligibility
+
+In order to be considered for the end user seat, the company the user is
+representing must be listed in the [Adopters](../../ADOPTERS.MD) file.
+
+## Schedule
+
+| Date        | Event                                                   |

+| March 6     | Announcement of selection                               |
+
+The one year term would be from March 6, 2026 to until a new representative is chosen in January 2027.
