Talk:Ex officio member

United States
Is the president of the united states also the commander-in-chief ex officio? Raffamaiden (talk) 11:11, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Disposition
This is a mess (see ex-officio) in saying
 * An ex-officio member was a member of a colonial legislative council or an executive council. They were civil servants who served in a colonial government, appointed to sit in a council or both councils alongside with unofficial members. Ex-officio members were also appointed to unelected or partially-elected municipal councils and district councils.

and i'm going to take a stab at it. It might be good to turn it into a list with three sections: This would support lks clarifying which status is intended by the articles and lists that lk to it. If it grows sufficiently, it could be split into 2 or 3 smaller lists. A history of the development of the practice belongs in the first section, again until such time as that can become a free-standing article. --Jerzy•t 03:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Bodies whose ex-officio members may vote
 * Bodies whose ex-officio members may not vote
 * Bodies whose with both voting and non-voting ex-officio members

Article is a mess
Ex officio applies to coporate boodies, bu this article wanders through national bodies as well. This is as much more a Corporate stub as it is a "Government" stub and I feel the national issues don't belong in this article. Askthecoolcookie (talk) 02:31, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, the government stuff should be removed, is there any major objection? Rjljr2 (talk) 19:32, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

European Court of Human Rights
Probably worth noting that in the ECHR, when a case is brought to the (7-judge) Chamber against a state, the judge belonging to that state is entitled to sit ex officio and is generally expected to vote on the issue. When a case comes to the (17-judge) Grand Chamber then the same right extends to the President and Vice President of the court. The rest of the members are drawn by lot from the total pool of 47 judges.

Notable because its an auspice of a major international treaty (the amended european convention on human rights) which uses the term and illustratively helpful because it demonstrates the difference between ex officio and random drawing of members without a change in voting rights

It might be hard to accurately blurbify so i'll leave it for a while and see if somebody else would like to fit it in first Bob House 884 (talk) 14:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
