Commission Nominations

The action of the commission in making nominations with respect to any vacancy shall be taken only at a meeting and only by the execution of a certificate of nomination, which shall be in the form of a communication to the governor, setting forth the nominations thereby made, signed on behalf of the commission by the chairman. The names of the potential nominees shall be submitted in alphabetical order, with no indication as to preference by the commission. After certification of a list of nominees to the governor, no commission member shall contact the governor or any member of the gover- nor’s office or staff for the purpose of further influencing the governor’s decision. However, if contacted by the governor or a member of the governor’s office or staff, commission members may discuss their own views about the qualifications of a nominee.
