The LPV subgroup is led by a peer-nominated chair and vice-chair that serve 3-year terms. The current chair is Fernando Camacho of EOLab at the University of Valencia, Spain and the vice-chair is Michael Cosh, of the USDA. The subgroup consists of 10 Focus Areas, each led by internationally independent co-chairs who have been actively involved in validation activities and are respected community members (see table below).
Each participant in the LPV subgroup holds their position for a term of three years, after which nominations are requested, except the focus area lead positions, which are renewable for an additional term if all parties are in agreement.
