If consensus cannot be achieved, an election shall be held for the office.
The Chair and Vice Chair(s) shall be elected for a two-year term of office. The Chair and Vice Chair(s) may offer themselves for election for a second consecutive term. Exceptionally, they may offer themselves for further consecutive terms, subject to the following:
- A two week deadline that expires at noon UTC on the Friday which falls between 20 and 14 days prior to the first day of the meeting at which elections are due to be held shall be established.
- A Chair is not permitted to stand for another consecutive term if another candidate is announced via the oneM2M web site or via the relevant oneM2M email reflector prior to this deadline.

- A Vice Chair is permitted to stand for another consecutive term only after this deadline if the number of candidatures is less than the number of Vice Chair positions.
There is no restriction on a Vice Chair whose term of office is due to expire offering himself for the position of Chair; neither is there any restriction on a Chair whose term of office is due to expire offering himself as a Vice Chair.
Should an SC Chair or Vice Chair be absent for six consecutive months or 3 consecutive SC meetings, whichever is the longer period, they shall be deemed to have resigned their position, and that position shall be declared vacant and elections shall be initiated to take place at the next SC meeting.
Should a SC Chair or Vice Chair position become vacant for reasons other than expiration of term of office, an election shall be conducted to fill the unexpired term. This election shall be conducted at a meeting of the SC, and shall be announced in the agenda according to the provisions of Article 8.
When such an election is held to fill the office of Chair, and one or more of the SC Vice Chairs intend to stand for election to that position, the announcement shall also indicate that there will be an election to fill the position of Vice Chair(s) in the event that a Vice Chair be elected to the office of Chair. If, at the election, the Vice Chair is elected to the office of Chair, that individual shall become Chair immediately, and the position of Vice Chair thus being vacant, an election shall be held for the office of Vice Chair.
When such an election is held to fill the office of a Vice Chair and the Chair of the SC intends to stand for election to that position, the announcement shall also indicate that there will be an election to fill the position of the Chair in the event that the Chair be elected to the office of the Vice Chair. If, at the election, the Chair is elected to the office of Vice Chair, the position of Chair thus being vacant; an election shall be held for the office of the Chair.
The term of office for a Chair or Vice Chair elected at an election is a partial term lasting until the end of the current term. A partial term of office does not count towards the two consecutive term limit.
