Term of Re-appointment:
Governor recommends a period of eighteen months
both for the reappointment of existing
members and for the appointment of new members.
This would mean that the members would continue
in office until December, 1971; and this would
give the next Governor a period of some 21
months after his assumption of office in which
to make up his own mind about the future
membership of the Council. There would be
little point in deciding upon a shorter period
for the purpose, since we should then be faced
with the problem of having to make further
appointments or re appointments shortly before
the new Governor assumed office.
$3. I accordingly recommend that the Governor
proposals for the re-appointment of existing
members, for the appointment of new members,
and for the period of appointment of all
concerned, be accepted.
