History
On 2 October 2014, King Bhumibol Adulyadej appointed 250 members to the National Reform Council. The degree was published in the Royal Gazette on 6 October 2014.
On 21 October 2014, the Council held its first meeting, unanimously electing Tienchai Kiranandana as Chairman.[4]
On 6 September 2015, Council rejected the NCPO-drafted constitution 135 to 105, with 10 members not voting.[5] This led to the immediate dissolution of the Council and a new drafting process.[5]
On 5 October 2015, Council was replaced by the National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA).[6]
