To maintain the independence of the SES Advisory Panel, SES has adopted a maximum term limit of six (6) years for its advisors. Further, any additions to / deletions from the Panel will be subject to the unanimous affirmative approval of the Panel.

Advisors are not responsible and do not have access to SES’ internal governance. SES may however seek their counsel on specific internal governance issues and ethical matters.
