GF/B39/DP12
Approved by the Board on: 10 May 2018
Strengthening the Board Leadership Selection Process
- The Board notes the recommendation of the Ethics and Governance Committee (the “EGC”), as set forth in GF/B39/05 – Revision 1, and acknowledges the need to strengthen the current process for selecting the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Board.
- Based on the recommendation of the EGC, the Board approves, in principle, the revised process for selecting the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Board as detailed in Section II of GF/B39/05- Revision 1 (the “Revised Board Leadership Selection Process”) and the Draft Terms of Reference of the Board Leadership Nomination Committee (the “BLNC ToRs”) as provided for in Annex 7 of GF/B39/05 – Revision 1.
- The Board requests the Secretariat to finalize the BLNC ToRs and to prepare the necessary revisions to the core governance documents to implement the Revised Board Leadership Selection Process for review by the EGC and recommendation to the Board for approval ahead of the planned 2018 launch of the call for nominations for Board Chair and Vice-Chair.
