	(b)	an entitlement to such leave may be converted to the amount fixed under paragraph (a) if an election is made to the Committee, or to the person holding an office nominated by the Committee, in a manner determined by the Committee, by 31 August immediately following the financial year in which the entitlement accrues; and
