Hi Julf,
Leadership checked but couldn't recall when council had the discussion that NomCom-appointed councilors should not work for governments or governmental organisations. Could you please provide us with more information on the discussion?
I would like to also note that the council has until 30 September to share the JD with NomCom.
Remain blessed,
Tomslin
In the past there has been some discussion about perhaps adding a
restriction stating that NomCom-appointed councilors should not
work for governments or governmental organisations. I understand
the Board has such a restriction, but we don't (currently).
