 In the absence of a King's Commissioner the Islands have a joint "Kingdom Representative" and so the official Dutch translation for the "Rijksvertegenwoordiger voor de openbare lichamen Bonaire, Sint Eustatius en Saba", who has an office on each of the Islands.In 2011, Wilbert Stolte, a member of the conservative CDA party and former municipal politician in The Hague, was appointed to hold this office for six years.It is proposed to give Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba another status, the status of "Caribbean public bodies".
