The selection committee will identify the characteristics needed in those appointed to ensure that the HC will be well-balanced and have strategically defined diversity to serve the needs of the HSA and DG. The list of candidates should provide, as far as possible, a fair and adequate representation of geographical regions, their cultures and languages, IB programmes and types of school. The HC may invite heads of authorized IB schools to put forth their name for consideration; the invitation will identify whom to contact for information about the roles and responsibilities of the HC, expectations of its members, and the appointment process. The selection committee may also propose to appoint an unsuccessful candidate from the election.
