The BBC Trust seeks to ensure that the ACW's membership will include experience of a broad range of issues which may include disability issues, minority ethnic communities, beliefs, sexual orientation, and issues related to age, basic skills, and urban and rural communities.
Members are be appointed for an initial term of three years, with the option of an extension of tenure for up to a further 2 years.
