Central Nominations Committee is responsible for finding names for appointments as required by Yearly Meeting and Meeting for Sufferings, and for overseeing and developing nominations procedures. It is appointed by Yearly Meeting on the nomination of Yearly Meeting Nominating Group (6.22). Members are appointed on a rotating triennial basis. Terms of reference for the committee are agreed by Yearly Meeting.

Central Nominations Committee consults with the committees and other bodies for which it is seeking names and ensures that up-to-date terms of reference and other information required are obtained in good time. The committee seeks nominations on the basis of its own discernment and in line with the general guidance on nominations set out in 3.22–3.25.
