As Article 74(2) is framed as an obligation for the government to appoint an independent commission, it should be worded to ensure its independence. A suggestion may be to define in the text a fixed number of members from each of the groups listed in letters a-j. Vague terms such as “local public authorities” should be replaced by a reference to a specific local public institution, such as mayors or local councils. Moreover, the text does not say whether the commission’s members from local public authorities are to represent a specific administrative sub unit for the establishment of a specific constituency, or whether these members are to represent all local authorities in the country. If so, it is not clear how and under which criteria these members are to be selected. The same applies to the groups “associations of national minorities” and “civil society and academia”. For the latter group, the wording “from the area” in Article 74(2) j) seems to suggest that these members are to be appointed ad hoc from the different geographical or administrative areas of the country. However, the provision provides no criteria for the selection of these members. This point should be clarified. Whichever way the provision is framed, it should provide for a balanced composition of the commission based on precise and objective criteria.
