Why should not the committees, as the legislation says, elect their own chairperson?
The present term of office of the chairperson should be instantly teminated if the chair has not the grace to resign in the meantime.
Why was the schedule not discussed in detail with the chairpersons, and even perhaps with the directors, before it was finalised?
Now, all the chairpersons have the same opportunity to present their arguments.
It is surely vital that they retain the capability, based on informed knowledge, to outvote the chairperson if they so choose.
At the end of a lengthy debate on the matter, the chairperson asked me for my views.
Subsequently, the guideline advisory committee validates the evidence and positions taken, leading to revision and final approval by the chairperson in consultation with the expert panel.
Additionally, the panel chairperson was experienced in that role, having served in a previous consensus conference, and the panel "met" by conference call a month before the conference.
