    4  The Selection Process
By this instrument I determine the following process will apply to the selection of a person for appointment to the panel under s 196 (2) of the Defence Force Discipline Act 1982.
       1. Calls for Applications for the Position
               1. The process for selecting a person for appointment to the panel will commence with the distribution by the Office of the Judge Advocate General of an information pack calling for candidates to make application to the Office of the Judge Advocate General.
               2. The information pack will be distributed by such means as are reasonably expected to bring the proposal to appoint a person to the panel to the attention of all permanent and reserve ADF legal officers, who are likely to be eligible to serve on the panel.
               3. A call for applications for appointment to the panel must provide a period of notice that allows a reasonable opportunity for potential applicants to consider the call, to consult if desired and to respond to the requirements of the call for applications.
               4. The information pack calling for applications for appointment may: identify defence leadership behaviours expected of a person serving on the panel; set out a duty statement; identify the selection criteria for appointment; request a response to the specified selection criteria for appointment; identify considerations of diversity and inclusion; and otherwise will include such matters, as may be required by law and as the Judge Advocate General may direct.
