The CB Search Committee (SC) is a sub-committee of the Collaboration Board and is chaired by the Chair of the CB

The CB SC originates from the time of the CMS Reflection Group when the CMS Constitution was being significantly revised. The Collaboration Board minutes of February 2006 and March 2006 record endorsements of several recommendations made by the Reflection Group regarding the formation of a Collaboration Board Search Committee.

The text of the adopted proposal (Recommendation 5) was:

"Collaboration Board Search Committee: this helps the Spokesperson to select his/her Deputy and the Coordinators. Its composition would be the Collaboration Board Chair and Deputy, plus the elected Regional Representatives in the Management Board. The Spokesperson must consult all members but has the final word in the nominations which must nevertheless be endorsed by the Management and Collaboration Boards."
Membership

The membership comprises the Collaboration Board Chair and Deputy Chair and the regional representatives to the CMS Management Board.
