Schedule 2
42.This schedule sets out further detail on the arrangements for selecting candidates for appointment as the Chair and other members of the Board. Paragraph 1 requires the Clerk of the Assembly, on behalf of the Assembly Commission, to make the necessary arrangements. Paragraph 2 makes it clear that the Clerk may, from time to time, revise those arrangements.
43.In order to minimise any possibility of a conflict of interests, paragraph 3 requires the Clerk to ensure that no person who could be affected by the exercise of the Board’s functions (for example, Assembly Members) may participate in the selection process. It also requires the Clerk to ensure that the arrangements have regard to equality of opportunity for all people.
44.Paragraph 4 requires the Clerk to publish details of the selection procedure, on the Assembly’s website, in advance of, and during, the selection process.
45.Paragraphs 5 and 6 require the Assembly Commission to appoint whoever is selected by those arrangements unless the person selected is disqualified under section 4 and Schedule 1.
