26D: Membership

You could also call this:

"Who gets to be on the New Zealand Fish and Game Council team"

The New Zealand Fish and Game Council is made up of people chosen by Fish and Game Councils. You can think of it like a team where each Fish and Game Council gets to pick one of their own members to be on the New Zealand team. The person they choose can be picked again if needed, as long as it follows the rules made under section 48.

Each Fish and Game Council gets one pick for the New Zealand Fish and Game Council. They choose one of their own members to join the team. This person can be reappointed if the council wants them to stay on the team.
