Mae’r Pwyllgor yn cynnwys Aelodau Etholedig o’r Cyngor, Aelod o Gyngor Cymuned ac aelodau annibynnol. Caiff Cadeirydd ac Is-gadeirydd y Pwyllgor eu hethol o’r aelodau annibynnol.

• Rhaid iddyn nhw fod yn ‘annibynnol’, yn unol â diffiniad Rheoliadau Pwyllgor Safonau (Cymru) 2001, rhaid iddyn nhw beidio â bod wedi’u hanghymwyso gan y rheoliadau hynny na chan Adran 80 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol 1972.

• Rhaid iddyn nhw fod â’r hawl i gael eu cynnwys ar gofrestr etholiadol Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Rhondda Cynon Taf.

Rhaid i bob ymgeisydd fod yn gwbl annibynnol ar wleidyddiaeth.

Bydd y penodiad am gyfnod o chwe blynedd. Mae gan Aelod Annibynnol hawl i gael lwfans dyddiol ar gyfradd o £210 (£105 am ½ diwrnod) a threuliau am fynychu cyfarfodydd, sy’n daladwy yn unol â Rhestr Cydnabyddiaeth Ariannol i Aelodau y Cyngor.
