Paragraph 7 Co-opted Trustees
Except as regards the before mentioned first Co-opted Trustees, each appointment of a Co-opted Trustee must be made by the Trustees at a special meeting called under Clause 15.
An appointment may, but need not, be made before the date on which the term of office of an existing Co-opted Trustee comes to an end, to take effect on that date. In these circumstances—
the appointment may not be made more than three months before the date on which the existing Co-opted Trustee’s term of office is due to end; and
any Co-opted Trustee whose term of office is about to come to an end must not vote in favour of their own reappointment.
Except as regards the before mentioned first Co-opted Trustees, each appointment must be for a term of five years except that if the appointment is being made to fill a casual vacancy, the appointment shall be for the unexpired term of the appointee’s predecessor.
