Once a person has been co-opted, they can participate as an expert or bring whatever reasons they are being co-opted. But they are not part of the Council and should never have a voting right. Clause 5(3) is basically stating their status in terms of how they can participate, but should not have a voting right. So, if we delete it then, a co- opted member will have the same rights as the other members. I oppose the amendment."}
