You commented on Australia's ICAO appointments (ICAO Trough List), and I subsequently referred to the arrangements for those appointments:
See:
http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/avi...nding_Aust.pdf
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...
I think we might have missed an opportunity here with the ASRR Terms of Reference stated outcomes, that is (in particular):
The report of the review will (amongst other things):
•examine and make recommendations as required on the appointment process and criteria applied for key aviation safety roles within CASA and the ATSB;
Maybe it should have been argued that the ARRS should also have:
• examined and make recommendations as required on the appointment process and criteria applied for the arrangements for Australia's ICAO Council Representative and the nominee to the Air Navigation Commission.
