The IOC Executive Board consists of the chairman president, four vice-presidents, and ten other IOC members; all of the board members are elected by the IOC Session, using a secret ballot, by a majority vote. The IOC organizes the modern Olympic Games, held every two years, alternating summer and winter games (each every four years).

A president serving for two terms would lead the organization for at least three Summer Olympic Games and three Winter Olympic Games.
