Under the Hong Kong Arts Development Council Ordinance, the non-official members of the council may include up to nine persons nominated by the specified organisations of the arts interests mentioned above.
As there is no applicant which can on its own be considered as representative of the literary arts category, it is not possible to specify any group in this category at this time.
"The Governor will appoint directly a person experienced in the literary arts to be a member for the coming term of office which will commence on January 1, 1996," the spokesman said.
The specified organisations are required to nominate persons on or before December 11 this year to the Recreation and Culture Branch for consideration by the Governor.
To ensure that the selection and nomination process is well understood and that it is conducted in a fair and credible manner, the Branch organised a forum for the specified organisations last Monday to further explain in detail the nomination process.
