Abstract

Chapter 34 examines the role, responsibilities and time commitment for the Chairperson. We begin by reviewing the division in CEO/Chairperson roles from Stage 1 and the OECD recommendations in Stage 2.

There follows discussion of agenda items, access to information and promoting alternative views. Moving further into the Chapter, we examine outside meetings for non-executive directors, CEO entrenchment, time commitment for the Chairperson and demarcation of the Chairperson and the CEO.

Chapter 34 concludes with the conditions and criteria for the Chairperson and annual election.
