The original note from David Daniel does not indicate whether his university is receiving federal funding for human subjects research. The federal guidelines (that Annette provides a link to) only have to be followed IF the university is required to follow federal IRB guidelines which (as I understand it) they only have to do if they receive federal funding for research with human subjects. Perhaps David can expand here: are you asking what the federal guidelines require or are you asking what would be good for a voluntary IRB?

You should go to
http://ohrp.osophs.dhhs.gov/humansubjects/guidance/45cfr46.htm
where all of the details are spelled out precisely, including the
composition of the committee.  And yes, you do need a community member...

I think this has been discussed before but:  What is the optimal membership
make-up of a human subjects review board? We have a proposal to include a
community member, an administrator and several faculty.  Just wondering.
