2005 Annual Report

Members of the Commission

The Securities Commission consists of not less than five and not more than ten Members appointed by the Governor-General on the recommendation of the Minister of Commerce. Members are appointed for their knowledge or experience in industry, commerce, economics, law, accountancy, public administration or securities. At least one Member must be a barrister or solicitor of not less than seven years' practice. Members hold office for a term not exceeding five years and may be reappointed.

Falcon Clouston left the Commission in April 2005 after ten years' service and Rodger Spiller completed a four year term with the Commission in May 2005. The range of experience and understanding of the securities markets brought by Falcon and Rodger were of considerable benefit to the Commission. We are grateful for their very significant contributions.
