This initiative aims to bring fresh perspectives and specialized insights to the council, which oversees the national broadcaster. The selection process emphasizes finding 'recognized experts,' suggesting a desire for high-caliber individuals to guide ERR's strategic direction.

Adding to the process, Deputy Chairman Tรตnis Lukas has proposed the formation of a separate commission dedicated to the selection of these new members. This suggestion indicates a commitment to a thorough and potentially rigorous vetting process, ensuring the chosen experts are well-suited for their roles in overseeing Estonian public broadcasting.
