When you are appointed under section 318 or section 319, it happens by name. You are appointed on certain terms and conditions that the regional council or the Director decides are appropriate. The regional council or the Director can also decide when your appointment can be revoked, which means it can be cancelled, and this is part of the terms and conditions of your appointment under section 318 or section 319.
