Paragraphs 8.1 and 8.2 set out the arrangements for appointment of the Council Representative and the nominee to the Air Navigation Commission.
Paragraph 8.5 is of interest, and states that it is the general expectation that the appointee will be from Infrastructure, Airservices Australia or CASA...
...but this would not rule out the selection of a candidate external to these agencies.
I'd like to know if/when an external candidates have been appointed.
And if in recognition of paragraph 8.5 the positions are ever advertised so that
external candidates can apply, and so that their qualifications and experience can be evaluated alongside those of the Infrastructure, Airservices and CASA candidates to ensure that the
most qualified and experienced candidates are selected for the positions in the best interests of Australia.
My suspicion is that no external candidates are ever going to be considered, particularly when internal candidates who are 'smart' people with 'a good aviation background' (whatever that means) are available.
