You could also call this:

"The Minister chooses a team of 5-7 people to help make decisions about aviation in New Zealand."

The Minister chooses people to be on the board of the Civil Aviation Authority. You can have at least 5 people, but no more than 7 people on the board. The Minister picks people they think will help the public with civil aviation, as stated in section 29 of the Crown Entities Act 2004.

When choosing some of the members, the Minister asks organisations that represent people with a big interest in civil aviation in New Zealand for suggestions. The Minister wants to know who these organisations think would be good for the board. You can be on the board and hold another job at the same time, except for some jobs under the Transport Accident Investigation Commission Act 1990.

The Director or employees of the Civil Aviation Authority cannot be on the board.
