You could also call this:

"Who can be on the Sports Tribunal to help make decisions"

Illustration for Sports Tribunal Act 2006

The Sports Tribunal of New Zealand has a group of members who help make decisions. You need to have at least 5 members in this group to make sure things run smoothly and quickly. The Governor-General chooses these members after the Minister recommends them, and the Minister talks to the board of Sport and Recreation New Zealand before making a recommendation.

When the Minister is choosing someone to be a member of the Tribunal, they think about the person's qualities, qualifications, and skills. Being a member of the Tribunal does not make you an employee of the State services under the Public Service Act 2020 or the Government service under the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956, just because you are a member.

The Minister and the Governor-General work together to choose the right people for the job, and they want to make sure the Tribunal has the right number of members to do its job well.
