Regulation 4 Co-option

The Committee may appoint members in addition to those appointed under regulation 2 (“Co-opted Members”).

A Co-opted Member is appointed for such period as the Committee considers appropriate and a Co-opted Member who has ceased to hold office may be re-appointed.

A Co-opted Member does not count as a member for the purposes of regulations 5 to 9.

A Co-opted Member may not vote on any matter.

The Committee must exercise its power under paragraph (1) so as to secure that a majority of members are not members of the Commission.

The membership of a Co-opted Member may be withdrawn at any time by the Committee.
