In the abridged election procedure (available from SPIN) tells you how it proceeds. Part of the procedure includes having the board review all registered candidates for suitability. This requires pension knowledge and knowledge of and sufficient familiarity with board functioning that will enable them to be effective as directors after appointment.
After winning in the elections, the candidate board member is also tested by De Nederlandse Bank (DNB). The test looks at whether the candidate is suitable, i.e. has sufficient knowledge and experience of pensions and governance and shows professional behavior. DNB also tests whether the candidate is reliable. Managing a pension fund obviously entails considerable responsibility; therefore, the candidate must also know the ins and outs and have integrity before being approved as a board member.
If there are no opposing candidates, we will not hold elections.
