Leaders ask candidates for the task force to submit position statements. These statements are circulated in the legislature. Any blocs that find none of the candidates right for them have to recruit candidates. Position statements of those candidates are circulated. Leaders decide the size of the task force, or decide to limit it to candidates who get a minimum number of supporters.
All lawmakers pick a representative from among the candidates.
The candidate with the fewest supporters is out of the running. His or her supporters make a second choice. This step is repeated until the task force reaches the size decided. A chairperson is selected. The staff is appointed.
