Board, consisting of 5 members, headed by Chairman. Each year Vice-Chairman of the previous year assumes Chairmanship and the Board elects new Vice-Chairman from its own members. Members serve not as representatives of their respective countries, but as custodians of an international public trust. Accordingly, no member of the Board may seek or accept instructions from any government or from any other authority outside the Union. Each member holds office until his successor is elected by a conference, or he may be re-elected. To ensure an equitable representation of the various parts of the world, the five members of the Board are nationals of different countries situated in the five regions: Region A - Americas: Region B - Western Europe; Region C - Eastern Europe and Northern Asia; Region D - Africa; Region E - Asia and Australasia.
