Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who elects the Chair of the Board, and by what majority?
The Board elects the Chair itself: one chair and two deputy chairs, chosen from amongst its own members. The election is decided by simple majority.
How long do the Chair and the deputy chairs serve, and can the term be renewed?
The term of office of the Chair and of the deputy chairs is five years. It is renewable once, so the same person can hold the position for at most two terms.
Can someone who is not a member of the Board be elected as Chair?
No. Article 73 requires the chair and the two deputy chairs to be elected from amongst the Board's members, so only a member of the Board can hold one of these positions.
