"The guidelines provide information on some of the criteria that will be taken into account when consideration is given to the specification of the representative organisations by the Governor under the ordinance and to consideration by the Governor of the appointment of the nominees selected by these specified organisations."
It will take some time for the arts community to form organisations and process nominations. The Government will also need time to evaluate the results. It has therefore been decided that for the first term of office of the Council, the 16 non official members should all be appointed directly by the Governor for a period of seven months with effect from June 1.
"Such appointments will nevertheless include at least one person drawn from each of the nine arts interests specified in the Ordinance.
"And the second term of office will be for two years starting January 1, 1996. At that time, it is intended to include up to nine members who will have been nominated by each of up to nine specified organisations," the spokesman said.
The Recreation and Culture Branch will be holding an open forum on May 23 to answer questions on the guidelines from organisations interested in seeking specification and nominating representatives. Details will be announced in due course.
Copies of the guidelines and the implementation timetable are now available at the Culture Division, Recreation and Culture Branch, 40th floor, Revenue Tower, 5 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
