CGOV.5:4.3 - Make membership and support workable

Choose members against the contribution: relevant competence, available time and the required independence or eligibility. State independence from whom and for what matter; apply the applicable criteria and examine relationships that could defeat the intended judgement.

Provide access to needed information, specialists and protected ways to raise a concern. Where independent advice is warranted, arrange a usable way to commission and receive it. A member who is formally eligible but cannot obtain the necessary facts may be unable to perform the task.

Check capacity across the arrangement. The same two directors on every committee may have neither the time nor the range of knowledge the combined work needs. Attendance and a membership list establish less than the ability to perform the oversight contribution.
