The DCHA shall select six (6) impartial, disinterested members of any bar in good standing to be available to serve as hearing officers.
If the complainant objects to the hearing officer, DCHA and the complainant shall attempt to agree upon another member of the pool of hearing officers.
If DCHA and the complainant cannot agree, DCHA shall select any individual to serve as a member of the hearing panel, the complainant shall select any individual to serve as a member of the panel and these two (2) individuals shall select a third member. The choice of the individuals who comprise the hearing panel shall not be limited to the six (6) member pool of hearing officers.
If the individuals selected by DCHA and the complainant cannot agree on a third member, such a member shall be selected by an independent arbitration organization as provided in 24 CFR § 966.55(b)(1)(2002).
