The Nominations Panel of FIBA was introduced with the new FIBA General Statutes of 2014. Its purpose is to rule on the eligibility of persons nominated for election to various official FIBA positions and bodies, especially in view of the geographical and gender criteria outlined in the General Statutes and other criteria outlined in the Internal Regulations of FIBA.
Beyond verifying the eligibility of nominations, the Nominations Panel also makes recommendations as to the vision, skill and expertise that the nominated persons could bring to FIBA.
The Nominations Panel consists of the outgoing President of FIBA, the FIBA Secretary General as well as three persons appointed by the FIBA Congress, upon the proposal of the President and Secretary General.
