The CPUC orders specified the composition and process for constituting the 12-person CETF Board of Directors: 4 were to be appointed by the CPUC, 4 were to be appointed by the companies (3 by SBC of which only 1 could be an employee and 1 by Verizon), and these eight were to appoint the remaining 4. The appointments were to reflect both the diversity of California and the private-sector expertise to achieve ubiquitous broadband. Initial appointments were made in April 2006 and the Board was fully constituted by the end of June 2006.
