Mat,
As a percentage, how much of our current P&P would remain in a document
that
must be reviewed/approved by AudCom and how much would go into the new
document?
*Response: Not sure. General thoughts are that anything not required by
the model P&P gets moved to OM unless we feel it should be more tightly
controlled.
What sort of material would, at least hypothetically, move out of
AudCom's
"jurisdiction/scrutiny?"
*Response: Process for approving of PAR, financial details, details for
WG/TAG operations etc.
I wonder if AudCom and SASB would feel that such a partitioning was an
attempt to avoid their scrutiny/control?
*Response: My understanding is they would encourage that approach and
use that approach themselves. The SASB has an Operation Manual and
Bylaws (our equivalent of a P&P). My understanding is that Bylaws
changes much be approved by the Board of Governors and OM changes do not
require approval.
Finally, I wonder if AudCom and the SASB fully understood that this
action
would make it more difficult for sponsors such as 802 to update,
improve,
and correct flaws in their P&Ps in a timely fashion (in other words,
unintendedly impeding presumably desirable actions)?
*Response: My understanding is that they view this level of control as
necessary to properly implement existing SA rules.
I don't recall this being voted on at the BoG ... If the EC feels that
this
change to the SA Ops Manual is undesirable/problematic, I need to know
so I
can take it up with the rest of the BoG and represent 802's interest.
*Response: This is exactly the point. I don't believe changes to the
Ops Manual get approved by the BoG ;^). But double check I could be
wrong.
Regards,
Carl
