Ms Tanya Kenny:

The principles are captured in the Bill and there is internal and external representation. The external representation is open to people to apply for that and the selection process is agreed and approved by the Minister.

The aim is that the governing body would have the competency and composition required to allow it to undertake its duties. There are also the guiding principles that are in place in the context of the external chair, the internal membership, the external membership and student and staff representation.
