The criteria for being included on the List include:
- Being a Corporate Member of the HKIS’s GPD Division
- Being a Registered Professional Surveyor (GP)

There will be a pro-forma CV for qualified members to list their relevant experiences so that users of the List can know them better.

The backgrounds of the existing members on the vetting panel include government, developer, and private practice representatives, as well as member(s) of academia.
