The NWMB consists of nine members appointed by:
  1. Governor in Council appoints the NWMB Chairperson based on nominations from the NWMB
  2. Kivalliq Inuit Association
  3. Qikiqtani Inuit Association
  4. Kitikmeot Inuit Association
  5. Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated
  6. Governor in Council based on the advice of the Minister responsible for fish and marine mammals (i.e. Fisheries and Oceans Canada).
  7. Governor in  Council based on the advice of the Minister responsible for the Canadian Wildlife Service (i.e. Environment Canada) 
  8. Governor in Council based on the advice of the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada in consultation with the Commissioner-in-Executive Council (*the appointed member is to be a resident of the Nunavut Settlement Area)
  9. Commissioner-in-Executive Council (i.e. Government of Nunavut)
Each appointed member’s term is for a period of four years and a member may be reappointed.
 
All decisions of the NWMB are decided by a majority of votes cast and are required to have a quorum of members (i.e. 5 members). All members of the NWMB have a vote, except the Chairperson, the Chairperson only votes to break a tie.  These nine individuals form a unique and independent decision-making body. Although they rely upon their Government and Inuit partners for advice and for technical assistance, the members of the NWMB make their decisions on behalf of the public of the NSA, and not as agents of their appointing bodies.
