advisory and any determinations to be made or actions to be taken on
the basis of EAC advice shall be made or taken by appropriate officers
of MCC.
Nominees selected for appointment to the EAC will be notified by

balanced representation and consider a cross-section of those directly
affected, interested, and qualified, as appropriate to the nature and
functions of the EAC.
