The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Ministry expects to soon submit to the Senate the names of candidates for the four vacant seats on the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).
The NTC board is supposed to have seven members but currently has only three members.
Thaneerat Siripachana, chairman of the ministry's selection committee, said three positions were left vacant after members drew lots after finishing three years of service. But the directors are still playing an acting role although the lots were drawn two years ago.
Another seat was left vacant after board member Artorn Chantvimol resigned.
The law requires board members to draw lots to leave after finishing half of their six-year term of service.
Mr Thaneerat said 24 candidates had applied for the three vacant seats and a shortlist of six would be submitted to the Senate. Eleven people have applied for Mr Artorn's job and eight are still being screened. The committee will propose two names to the Senate.
By next month, he expected the full NTC board could be appointed.
