> Fellow OSC members,
> please find attached a revised document for comment.
> It is section 5 of the GNSO operating procedures.
> It concerns statements of interest (SOI) and disclosure of interest (DOI).
> 
> The intended difference is that an SOI refers to a member of a body whereas a
> DOI refers to an issue being discussed by a body at a moment in time.
> It is quite feasible that a specific DOI would be made by someone who has
> already made a more general SOI, should it be pertinent to the body's discussion
> at the time.
> 
> My own instinct is to make this subtle distinction clearer in a revised set of
> definitions. See proposed text below.
> In the meantime may I have by April 16:
> a) your approval of the substantive content and/or
> b) your approval or proposed edit to the revised definitions below
> c) any other proposal for text changes.
> 
> I would like ordinarily to work with a 10 calendar day comment period for our
> OSC reviews. I am extending this one in light of the Easter holiday celebrated
> by some members of our group.
