# The Code Manager Selection Regulations 2024, Regulation 3: Basis of selection


(1) The Authority may establish criteria by which it will determine the basis of selection.
(2) Those criteria may be established to apply in relation to a particular code or to all or a sub-set of all codes generally.
(3) The Authority must publish a statement of any criteria established under paragraph (1) before making any determination to which they apply.
(4) Subject to regulation 7(2)(a), whenever a code manager is to be selected, the determination by the Authority of the basis of selection must be made in accordance with any criteria established under paragraph (1), and in the absence of such criteria or as to matters not addressed by such criteria, in the discretion of the Authority.
(5) Before determining the basis of selection in relation to a code, the Authority may seek expressions of interest from any person that the Authority considers may become a candidate for selection as code manager.
(6) Where the Authority has determined the basis of selection in relation to a code, the Authority may, before selecting a code manager in relation to that code, determine to change the basis of selection in the circumstances specified in paragraph (7).
(7) Those circumstances are where the Authority considers that it is no longer appropriate to proceed with selection under the original basis of selection, in the light of—
(a) the progress made, or lack of progress, in taking steps towards selection on that basis;
(b) information obtained by the Authority in the course of taking steps towards that selection; or
(c) other information coming to the attention of the Authority.
(8) The Authority must publish its determination of the basis of selection in relation to a code, and of any change in that basis, together with its reasons for such determination, as soon as reasonably practicable after making that determination.
