Although Board members may be appointed for successive terms, other suitable candidates may also be considered for appointment when a mandate expires. Renewal is considered in accordance with the eligibility criteria and is decided by the appropriate appointing authority.
There is no automatic renewal of terms of office under the legislation: chairpersons and members submit to the same process for reappointment as they did for the original appointment.
Incumbents interested in being considered for reappointment are expected to advise their respective appointing authority and follow the same process as for original appointments.
Renewal of an appointment also depends on whether the appeal volume at the Board Centre continues to justify the appointment of the same number of chairpersons or Board members.
