From February 4th to February 10th, 2016, the Executive Committee and the Secretariat of CSF organized an election for the first group of directors of the Board and co-chairmen of Member Committees, and based on the election result, held a subsequent election for the co-chairmen of the Board, and completed the formation of the first Board. The newly formed Board and the Executive Committee made decisions on certain positions in the Standing Committees after thorough discussions.
According to the Articles of Association, the election of directors can be held concurrently with the election of chairmen and co-chairmen of Member Committees. On the basis of nominations received from CSF’s Institutional Members prior to January 31, 2016, after careful considerations, the Nominating Committee selected the first group of candidates for Board directors and for co-chairmen of Member Committees, and the representatives appointed by the Institutional Members then elected the first group of Board directors and co-chairmen of Member Committees through a democratic process.
The newly elected directors then proceeded to elect co-chairmen of the Board, in accordance with the Articles of Association, and Mr. Jian GAO and Mr. Anthony Neoh were elected by a unanimous vote. In accordance with the Articles of Association, the Meeting of Founding Members had previously elected Mr. Borong LIU as Chairman of the Executive Committee, so he will also serve as vice-chairman of the Board – a position which, in accordance with the Articles of Association, is to be held by the chairman of the Executive Committee.
According to the Articles of Association, all members of the Executive Committee and three additional special monitors (each of whom was a delegated representative from an Institutional Member which is not represented on the Board) supervised the election process.
