Arts Development Council nomination criteria explained

JC.

The question of whether and how full-time employees/artists of some professional performing companies which do not have an open membership can -4. participate in the nomination process has been raised at a recent forum organised by the Music and Dance Committee and the Drama and Traditional Performance Committee of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (ADC).

A representative of the Recreation and Culture Branch told the forum that there were three ways of doing so.

First, the employees/artists may request their employer, i.e. the performing company, to open up its membership by including a class of affiliated members and to apply to be a specified organisation.

"If it becomes so, the employees of the company can, in the capacity of the affiliated members, enjoy the right of being involved in the decisions on the nomination of candidate for consideration by the Governor for appointment as a member of the ADC," he said.

"But this may involve amendments to the respective constitution or the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the performing company."

Secondly, they may consider forming a new organisation themselves and apply to be a specified organisation in the name of that organisation.
