RE: [gnso-osc-ops] Actions from 29 Sept/Next Call 13 October

["Ray Fassett" <ray@xxxxxxxxx>]

>From what I can determine, this is the current language in the adopted RoP
that we will be focusing on today under Section 5.1, definitions:

 

Disclosure of Interest: Relevant to a specific issue at a specific time. A
written statement made by a Relevant Party of direct and indirect interests
that may be commercial (e.g. monetary payment) or non-commercial (e.g.
non-tangible benefit such as publicity, political or academic visibility)
and may affect, or be perceived to affect, the Relevant Party's judgment on
a specific issue.

 

Depending upon the nature of this discussion, it may dove tail into the
adopted definition of "Relevant Party" as well:

 

Relevant Party: An individual who participates as a member of a GNSO Group.

PDT/1300 EDT.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks.

Best regards,

Action Items:

1. Statements of Interests: Suggested language from Legal re: Staff
The Work Team asked for clarification on the legal reason for staff to be
exempted from providing a SOI. Also, the Work Team asked Staff to provide
relevant language concerning staff roles from the WG Guidelines. (DONE: With
Clarification from Wolf-Ulrich) It was suggested that the language
concerning staff roles should be consistent in both the SOI/DOI document and
the WG Guidelines.
Actor: Staff
Due Date: 13 Oct

2. Declarations of Interest: Whether to Provide in Writing
The Work Team asked Staff to review transcripts of previous meetings where
this issue was discussed to determine the origin of the requirement. Work
Team members agreed to revisit the issue of a written requirement for DOIs
after reviewing the information provided by staff, either on the list or at
the next meeting on 13 October. Staff subsequently completed a review and
found that the key discussions were held on 17 and 24 February 2010. See
attached document. Staff also noted that the version of the document
provided for discussion on 17 February does not include either in the
definition or in section 4 Disclosures of Interest a requirement for these
to be provided in writing. See attached document.  However, the draft
produced following the meeting on 24 February 2010 includes a requirement
for written SOIs and DOIs in their definitions. See attached document. It
appears that the changes may have been based on the discussion on the
meeting on the 24th for a need to have written SOIs/DOIs for reference.
Actors: Staff and Work Team members
Due Date: 13 October
