Presidium
1 The Presidium will consist of five (5) members duly selected/elected from within the EC each year. One of them will be designated as the Secretary General. He will be authorized to sign correspondence and ensure proper functioning of the ISC, including signing of documents authorized by the Presidium. After one year a new Presidium will be selected/elected from within the EC. No member is eligible for a second tenure within a two year term of the EC.
2 A Secretariat headed by a CEO will function under the direct control of the Presidium. It is desirable that the CEO be a highly experienced and an outstanding administrator, who is well versed in Sikh religion and its affairs. He should preferably be based permanently at ISC Headquarters to devote full time to his duties. His tenure may be for four years with a maximum of one extension of four years.
3 The CEO will function directly under the Presidium that may delegate special powers to him from time to time.
4 Remuneration to be paid to employees of the ISC Secretariat including the CEO will be decided by the EC with final approval of the GC at its bi-annual meeting or special meeting. Until a GC is in place the decision will be taken by the Interim Executive Committee along with sustainable budget.
