I also apologise for my late arrival. For how long will the members who are being appointed serve on the commission? Will their terms of office all expire at the same time - perhaps three or five years from now - or will their appointments be staggered? In other words, will there be continuity and will we avoid a situation where all the commissioners will finish their terms of office at the same time and where we will be obliged to appoint an entirely new batch of people?
