The NeXt Business Committee (BC) decides all NeXt group commercial subjects, marketing strategies, and activities. The members of the NeXt BC discuss and determine regional and market focuses, and propose the annual NeXt group budget to the NeXt group General Assembly. The NeXt Business Director heads the NeXt Business Committee. He is elected by the members during the annual General Assembly.

Activities of the NeXt Business Committee (BC)

NeXt technical groups are hierarchical structured. The top-level NeXt technical group is the NeXt Technical Committee (TC); sub-layered are the NeXt Special Interest Groups (SIG) and Joint Task Forces (JTF). JFTs are established jointly with other nonprofit associations. All these NeXt technical groups develop open source reference designs, software, specifications and recommendations. Each NeXt group member may participate in any group. The groups decide on consensus, meaning they discuss until everybody agrees on the compromise.
