STATEMENT TO BE MADE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE POLICY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 18th NOVEMBER 2003

I would like to bring States members up to date on the arrangements for the appointment of a new Chairman of the Waterfront Enterprise Board.

Members will recall that on 23rd July 2003, the States approved a report and proposition of the Policy and Resources Committee entitles Waterfront Enterprise Board: Re-appointment of Members', (P.103/2003), and decided to appoint Jurat John Tibbo and Mr. Peter Crespel as non-States Directors of the Waterfront Enterprise Board Limited for a period of three years expiring on 20th August 2006. The States also agreed to appoint Jurat Tibbo as Chairman of the Board for a three month period expiring on 19th November 2003.

Since that time the Policy and Resources Committee has sought the views of the Appointments Commission on the process to be adopted for the recruitment and selection of a new Chairman. The comments of the Appointments Commission have now been received and these will be considered by the Policy and Resources Committee when it meets later this week. As soon as the Committee has reached a decision on this matter, a press release will be issued to inform States members and the public of the process that has been agreed.

Once a suitable candidate has been identified, the Committee intends to lodge a report and proposition early in the New Year to seek the approval of the States to the appointment.

In the meantime, and pending this appointment, I am pleased to report that Jurat Tibbo has agreed to stay on as Chairman on a temporary basis. The Committee is extremely grateful to Jurat Tibbo for his work as Chairman over the last three months, and for having agreed to remain on in this capacity until a more permanent appointment is made.
