   Standards Committee.

  That the Chair of the Panel present a report to full Council at the first

    reasonable opportunity, nominating the successful candidate (conditional

    upon satisfactory references).

    shortlisted candidate (‘first reserve’) and third shortlisted candidate (‘second

    reserve’) be automatically appointed to any further casual vacancy for an

    independent member of the Standards Committee, if such should arise in the

    next twelve months (conditional upon satisfactory references and the

    agreement of the candidates).
