Each member country may have only one representative on any commission, but may be represented on more than one commission. However, an expert may come from the same country as a commission member. Each member country is entitled to nominate members for six commissions. Nomination for the Commission for liaising with the European Union shall not count towards the six nominations. Meetings should take place by rotation among the countries represented on the commission.
Arrangements are to be made between the host country and the chair of the commission.
The host country should pay for accommodation and other living expenses for commission members from non-industrialised countries. Members from industrialised countries should expect to pay for accommodation. Travelling expenses incurred by a representative should, except in exceptional circumstances, be paid by the member country he represents. 5.1 Persons accepting nomination to a commission must recognise that membership is not just an honour. It requires commitment of time and energy.
