2. Any individual nominated by a voting constituency, with the attributes stipulated in the Terms of Reference of the Board Chair and Vice-Chair, may stand for office.

3. The Board Chair and Vice-Chair shall, upon election, become ex-officio members of the Board during their tenure, independent of any constituency, and shall not hold voting rights.
