Article 1
Membership comes into effect as of the beginning of the Council mandate, which is fixed in the rule on the foundation of the Consultative Council according to Article 13 of the Consultative Council Establishment Act.  New membership shall begin on the date fixed in the Royal order appointing the new member and shall end with the termination of the Council mandate.  In case the mandate expires before a new Council has been formed, membership shall continue until a new Council has been formed, as long as the member concerned has not been stripped of his membership.
 
Article 2

Article 4
In exception of Article 2, a member of the Council shall be granted a 45 day annual leave.  The chairman of the Council shall determine when a member is granted this leave .  When granting leaves or leave of absence, it should be taken into account that this does not effect the quorum required for the convening of the Council session.
