[gnso-osc-ops] Section 5- SOI/DOI Procedures for OSC Review
Ray, Yesterday the Work Team agreed that the revised version of Section 5, the SOI/DOI procedures, is ready for OSC review. This version includes changes as requested by Steve Metalitz as follows: 1. "investment interest" be defined to exclude ownership of a de minimis number of shares in a publicly traded company. Section 5.3.3.3.i. AGREED and changed. 2. Recognize that there will be circumstances in which a requirement (under section 5.3.3.3.ii) to disclose that (for example) a lawyer represents Google in a matter totally unrelated to anything in the ICANN purview could present a problem or at least a considerable delay in getting permission to disclose the representation. AGREED it is covered under 5.5.1 as an extenuating circumstance. 3. Requirement to disclose "potential ... investment interest in or compensation arrangement with...." contracted parties (section 5.3.3.3.iii) will need to be administered in a common-sense manner. AGREED, but the Work Team noted that we cannot have an answer for every potentiality so they agreed not to change the text but to look to common sense. 4. Reference to "nomination/selection as a work team member" change to "participation"? AGREED and changed. 5. Reference to “Declarations of Interest” in Section .5.2.1 change to “Disclosures of Interest.” AGREED and rest of the document checked to make sure all other instances are corrected. In addition, the Work Team discussed comments received in the Public Comment period, particularly by INTA, and agreed to add a request for the respondent’s declared country of residence in Section 5.3.3. The version for submission to the OSC is attached in redlined and clean versions. Thanks, Julie Attachment:
