As the committee can see, I am not a legal mind.

I apologise to the Chair for the long delay, but I want to get this right in case somebody decides to sue me. The PAS will carry out a competitive and transparent process to decide whom to put forward. The board will appoint that person. It will accept the process and the recommendations that come from the PAS. I hope that makes that clear.
