I envisage making several appointments or nominations in the relevant period. The term of office of one member of the Ireland-United States Commission for Educational Exchange (the Fulbright Commission) will come up for renewal in May 2007. The terms of office of the Administrative Council and Board of Management of the Fondation Irlandaise (the Irish Cultural Centre) in Paris expire in May and the composition of the new Council and Board is currently under consideration. Ireland and France each appoints seven members to the Administrative Council, while Ireland normally appoints 14 of the 15 members of the Management Board, which is a less formal subsidiary body of the Council.
