The Board convenes at least once a month or anytime upon the call of the President when there is need. Board Members serve for four years. The members, who complete their time may be reelected. In the event that a member leaves before four years, the new member who is elected with the same procedure to replace the leaving member, completes the period of the member that s/he has replaced. The former Board operates until the new Board starts to operate. With reservation to the provisions of the Act No: 6245 dated 10.02.1954, Board members who already bear the title of public officer are paid the amount found as 2000 multiplied by public officer payment coefficient while those who do not qualify as public officer receives the amount multiplied by 1000. Those payments are exempt from any tax but only stamp tax. The Board can set up commissions and working groups and in addition may invite representatives from the ministries, non-governmental organisations and other institutions to participate in the meetings as it finds appropriate. The secretarial services of the Board are executed by the Prime Ministry. The Prime Ministry prepares and puts into force the regulation concerning the procedure and the basis for the activities and tasks of the Board.
