An election committee consisting of two Board members and the management of the administering body will invite the candidates they consider suitable on the basis of their CVs and the other documents for an interview. A list of eligible parties will be drawn up if the interviews lead to the election committee feeling that there is more than one suitable candidate.

As soon as the qualified – and possibly chosen – candidates are known they will be appointed.
