The Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson and other Board members referred to in subsections (3) and (4) shall hold office at the Cabinet’s pleasure for such period not exceeding four years as the Cabinet may determine and shall be eligible for re-appointment.
The quorum of a Board is three members, including the Chairperson or Deputy Chairperson who has an original vote but not a casting vote.
In the event of a quorum not being present at any meeting of a Board, such meeting stands adjourned until a date to be notified to the members by the Chairperson.

The Cabinet may, from time to time, appoint a member temporarily to fill a casual vacancy arising from any cause including non-attendance by any member.
The Department of Commerce and Investment is designated as the Secretariat to the Board.
The Secretariat shall be responsible for the day to day administration of the Board and, to the extent of the authority delegated to it by the Board, shall be responsible for the carrying out of the administrative duties of the Board, and shall provide the secretary who shall record and keep the minutes of all meetings, proceedings and decisions of the Board.
Members of the Board may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of a conference telephone, computer or similar equipment providing real time communication and allowing the participants in the meeting to communicate with each other at the same time, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting of the Board.
The Board may, subject to this Law, make such rules as it thinks fit to regulate its procedures, its own internal management and the procedures and management of any subcommittee of the Board and at its first meeting shall approve and adopt standing orders that will govern procedure in connection with its meetings.
All appointments to the Board shall be published by Government Notice.
