Governance
The company is owned entirely by the federal government, who are the sole shareholders. However, it functions as a corporation and is not considered to be the 'public sector'; G-Tel is not bound by federal laws governing public sector employees. The Telecom board, consisting of 16 members, all government appointees. Many board members are corporate executives and shareholders in other companies, though it is unlawful for a G-Tel director to hold shares in another telecommunications firm (this law was put to the test in 2002 when John Garson was jailed for 3 years for this very offence). Board members are appointed for a five-year term. The board chooses a CEO and a chairman - the chairman is always a director and the CEO is always from outside the board. The current CEO, appointed in 2005, is Elizabeth Leyton. The current Director, since 2003, is Mark Stewart.
