    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 7 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting the word “ten” appearing at the beginning of paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the word “eight”; (b) by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after sub-clause (1) — “(1A) In electing members to the Board under subsection (1)(b), members of the Institute shall be guided by the principle of— (a) one-third gender rule; and, (b) regional and ethnic diversity.” As it is, the Bill proposes that the Board be made of 11 members, but we just learnt that the best practice is that the members should be between seven and nine. We are, therefore, reducing the number of members of the Board from 11 to nine by proposing eight members and one Board chairperson."
