- The Regional Board shall consider the appeal and make a decision on the merits of the appeal.
- The regional or National Board, as the case may be when considering the appeal, shall be absent of any Board Member who sat on the committee which made the decision in the first instance.
- If the applicant is not satisfied with the decision of the Regional Board, the applicant may appeal in writing to the National
Board.
- The National Board or a committee appointed by it shall consider the appeal and make a decision on the merits of the appeal.
- The decision of the National Board or its delegated committee shall be final.
- Reasons for its final decision in writing shall be given to the applicant and the Regional Board by the National Board.
