In accordance with the KAL Nominations Committee By-Law a copy of which is attached (By-Law), all nominations will be provided to the Nominations Committee who will undertake an
assessment of, and provide a recommendation as to, a candidate’s suitability. It is important to note that the Nominations Committee is not the selection mechanism for the Board.
 
This is separately provided for in the Constitution (whereby candidates are voted on by the voting members of KAL by a secret ballot). Rather, the Nominations Committee receive all nominations for election to the KAL Board and determine the suitability of all nominations by deciding whether a candidate:
 

1. meets any of the Core Competencies as set out in the By-Law (if so, detailing which Core Competencies are met); and

2. is recommended as a suitable candidate for election to the Board by the members based on meeting any of the Core Competencies and having regard to any apparent skills gap on the Board.
