1. CGR2 Summary Proposals
UNC Panel
18 October 2012

2. General CGR2 Aims
Improve transparency and accessibility for all industry participants
Reduce red tape by providing a greater role for the industry to govern itself
Ensure that the governance arrangements of all industry codes can effectively support the large scale and complex changes facing industry in coming years

3. UNC
Allow ‘fast track’ self governance: certain housekeeping amendments can be made by unanimous panel agreement, subject to parties/Authority having opportunity to object
Change self governance appeal window: to begin at ‘publication’ date rather than ‘decision’ date. In light of this potential change, also consulting on reducing appeal window to 10 working days
Transfer Agency Charging Statement from GT licence to UNC governance

4. General The CGR2 consultation also includes:
Draft self governance appeals guidance
Our view that guidance on applying the self governance criteria is not necessary
Clarification that self governance ‘statements’ can be provided in the usual minutes of the panel meeting, provided these are sent promptly to the Authority
Clarification that CACoP compliance is with the 12 Principles; the additional detail/templates is best practice rather than mandatory
Minor amendments to CACoP following review earlier this year

5. Proposed timeframe Responses to consultation – 23 November 2012
Publish conclusions/way forward and statutory consultation on licence modifications – January 2013
