Any member of the RDC may nominate an individual or an organization to be an SNVM provided that the individual nominee must be a Filipino citizen of legal age, not otherwise disqualified by law, with proved track record in his area of specialization in the region, and must be willing and able to participate in all RDC activities.

2. The nomination must be made through the Executive Committee and/or concerned RDC sectoral committee which shall review and endorse the same based on the guidelines.

3. Upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee and/or concerned sectoral committee, the RDC Full Council shall confirm the membership of the SNVMs.

4. The number of SNVMs shall be limited to one-fourth of the fully constituted Council.

5. The term of the SNVMs shall coincide with the regular term of local elective officials and the PSRs. However, if an SNVM commits an act inimical to the RDC, his membership may be terminated on motion of a member and upon approval of the majority of the members present during a Full Council meeting.
