The TEI Consortium was established in 2000 as a not-for-profit membership organization to sustain and develop the TEI. The Consortium has its executive office at Bergen (Norway) and hosts at the University of Bergen, Brown University, Oxford University, and the University of Virginia, with Lou Burnard (of Oxford) as European editor, and Syd Bauman (of Brown) as North American Editor. The Consortium is managed by a Board of Directors, and its technical work is overseen by an elected Council.
