<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Let me be very clear –
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I never expressed support for this policy – I asked a question.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I am COMPLETELY opposed to this policy, and will be until such time as the policy explicitly states that in the event of a complaint against a member,
the member is informed when he is audited who complained and the grounds stated for the complaint. That is in line with internationally accepted practice that the accused may have the right to confront his accuser, and protects against malicious accusations
for the sake of causing on going work for an organisation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">It opens the door for legal action against an accuser by the accused, if the accused feels the accuser is lodging complaints that are malicious and
unsubstantiated in nature, and it means that those who are complaining and demanding audits are doing so *<b>backed by evidence</b>* rather than because they feel they can.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I also argue that any person who issues a complaint should be willing to subject themselves to automatic audit, which again, will cut down on unfounded
complaints that are not backed by evidence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">In addition to this, complaints should be submitted by *<b>members</b>* alone, they are the true stake holders, and I will oppose any policy that
allows a random member of the community to submit arbitrary complaints without proof, evidence or proper substantiation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Further to this, 3.4 makes reference to unauthorised transfers. I can issue with auditing against something that is unauthorised when there is no
process to authorise it. That needs re-wording until such time as there is a transfer policy. I also take issue with 3.4 that it is declared as a non-exhaustive list. That is an open door for abuse, define the reasons for audit and stick to them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I also take *<b>HUGE</b>* issue with 3.6 – if you want 3.6 and you want to publish the names of companies that have been audited, firstly, you have
to publish the names as well of the requesting party, and secondly, that would be a direct violation of the confidentiality agreements agreed to in the RSA which you yourself refer to in the policy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Those are my thoughts – but until those issues are rectified – I do not support this policy, nor do any of the 15 organisations which I represent
directly support this policy. Once those issues are rectified, I will *<b>consider</b>* support for the policy, but the above points are deal breakers for me – after that, consideration can be given.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
