2.7 The Leeuwkop management area is served by one CSPB. At the time of the visit the vacant chairperson's positions had still not been filled. Although the vice-chairpersons reported no challenges as far as the CSPB's functioning and capacity, they were concerned that when one of their two public representative positions becomes vacant on 1 March 2011 their operation might be adversely affected. A CSPB quorum comprises three members, which must include the chairperson and vice-chairperson. At present, only one member other than the Chairperson and Vice- Chairperson is regularly available to attend meetings. His contract expires on 28 February 2011, and although the post has been advertised and interviews held, no appointment has been made. Of the four CMC chairpersons, at least one has been acting as a chairperson since 2008.
