The Commission consists of 25 members and one alternate. The Internal Operations.Committee reviews nominations to the 20 At Large seats and their Alternate. Terms for all Commission seats are three years. At its meeting on December 8, the IOC considered and approved the preceding nomination. It should be noted that with the current number of commission vacancies; a membership quorum is.difficult to achieve.. Several commissions and committees have encountered this problem and are unable to meet Brown Act requirements. Nominations for new appointments are being ratified by less than a commission quorum. Limited staffing makes roster maintenance and member recruitment an ongoing challenge for many of the Board's advisory bodies. The IOC will bring further recommendations regarding the Commission for Women to the Board in 2.009 with the triennial study on Board advisory bodies.
