STATES GREFFE
PROPOSITION

DEPUTY J.J. HUET OF ST. HELIER
REPORT
Following the establishment of the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005, and my own appointment as Chairman of the Commission, I should like to remind members that the Law requires the Chairman, in making nominations, to use his or her best endeavours "to ensure that the Commissioners shall be a diverse and balanced group of people in terms of gender, age, experience and skills, who share a commitment to the promotion of the objects of the Commission".
Members will recall that in order to ensure that the original appointment of the Non-States Commissioners were made in a fair and transparent manner, the selection process was undertaken in accordance with the procedures for such appointments established by the Jersey Appointments Commission with Mr. Mike Liston, Chairman of the Commission, involved at every stage in the selection process. Members were advised at the time that the original selection was extremely difficult. As that process of selection was relatively recent, Mr. Liston has confirmed the Jersey Appointments Commission's support for the new nominee now being put forward for a three year term, Mr. Peter Le Seelleur. Mr. Le Seelleur will bring not only his professional skills but a very strong commitment to overseas aid and will replace Mr. Leslie Crapp, to whom the Commission extends their heartfelt thanks for the commitment and dedication he has given. A short biography of Mr. Le Seelleur is attached at the Appendix. In accordance with the Law this appointment will be for a 3 year period.
There are no financial and manpower implications arising from this proposition.
