601JB(2)  [External member]  

A member of the compliance committee is an external member if they:

(a)  are not, and have not been in the previous 2 years, a non-external director, an executive officer or an employee of the responsible entity or a related body corporate; and

(b)  are not, and have not been in the previous 2 years, substantially involved in business dealings, or in a professional capacity, with the responsible entity or a related body corporate; and

601JB(3)  [Director of related body corporate]  

For the purposes of paragraph (2)(a), a person who is a director of a related body corporate, but not of the responsible entity itself, is an external director of the related body corporate if they would have been an external director of the responsible entity under section 601JA(2) had they been a director of the responsible entity.

A person who is, or has been, either:

601JB(5)  [New appointments]  

If the membership of the scheme's compliance committee ceases to satisfy subsection (1), the responsible entity must make appointments to the committee to satisfy that subsection within 14 days or within any longer period that ASIC has agreed to in writing.
