The paper is available on the website, so I encourage members to look at it. My understanding is that it deals with matters such as the recruitment process, the development of a position description and selection criteria, advertising of a vacancy, interview process, issues around confidentiality, and those sorts of administrative matters. My understanding is that those sorts of matters are dealt with in the guidelines.
