Actual leadership over nomenklatura appointments may vary. The politburo Standing Committee decides on the CCP secretary and governor of each province. In some instances, leadership small groups play a critical role in appointments within their bailiwicks. for example, all of the top banking positions at least through 2002. were formally on the central committee's nomenklatura list but in fact were controlled by the financial work commission, which until the November 2002 sixteenth party congress was headed by wen jibao, a politburo member, a member of the central secretariat, and a vice premier.
