<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="875091015-04022011"><font size="2" face="Arial">Further to adoption by the OSC I attach a revised set of procedures
for statements of interest (SOI).</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="875091015-04022011"><font size="2" face="Arial">These changes follow an OSC meeting in Cartagena and iterative edits
within the OSC.</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="875091015-04022011"><font size="2" face="Arial">The key changes from the earlier policy are:</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="875091015-04022011"><font size="2" face="Arial">-
just SOIs not statements AND declarations</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="875091015-04022011"><font size="2" face="Arial">-
simpler rules and guidance</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="875091015-04022011"><font size="2" face="Arial">-
obligation on the Chair (of Council or any GNSO group) to remind participants to
update SOIs.</font></span></div>
