 12    shall consist of six (6) members, to be appointed by  the  governor,  each  of
 13    whom  shall  be an architect, and shall have been a resident of and a lawfully
 14    practicing architect within the state of Idaho for a period of at  least  five

 19    in this chapter, the following powers and duties:
 20        (a)  To authorize,  by  written  agreement,  the  bureau  of  occupational
