What is the criteria for additional public members on the ASET Council?

The criteria for additional public members on the ASET Council is based on adding one additional public member for every ten Council members. This structure is designed to ensure that there is adequate representation of public interests in the Council's decision-making processes. It helps maintain a balance between professional members and public perspective, which is essential for regulatory and governance activities.

The approach of assigning one additional public member for every ten Council members not only aligns with governance best practices but also ensures that public input is sufficiently integrated into the Council's work. This representation is critical to uphold the integrity of the profession and ensure that the perspectives of those served by the profession are considered in decisions that affect them. Thus, this criterion reflects a thoughtful consideration of both governance structure and public interest representation.
