Improving Eligibility Requirements

Summary

Issues #44 (closed) and #45 (closed) consider the relationship of the definitions that each issue refers to and the eligibility requirements for GRID participants.

This issue is created to allow the Eligibility Requirements to be focused in once space. Readers should also read #44 (closed) and #45 (closed) and their discussions, particularly those that precede this issue creation (on 1 April AEST)

Problem

We need to align the most recent suggestions for definitions of terms with the most recent discussions on Eligibility Requirements.

Solution

Alina Nica Gales' suggestion (via email - temporarily unable to connect to GitLab as on leave) is as follows:

For ease of reference, I am setting out below the proposed revised text of section 4:

  1. Admission and Eligibility Requirements

Note that application and participation in the GRID is voluntary. To be included in the GRID, an applicant MUST meet the following Eligibility Requirements.

4.1 Registrar Eligibility

  1. The applicant MUST be an Authoritative Registrar of a UN Member State and MUST be legally responsible for maintaining one or more Registers.

4.2 Scope of Application

The application MUST specify the Register or Registers covered by the application.

4.3 Authoritative Status (Mandatory)

The applicant MUST provide a link to the national legislation, regulation, or other formal legal instrument showing that the applicant is designated or otherwise recognised as the Authoritative Registrar responsible for the Register or Registers covered by the application.

4.4 Accountability

The applicant MUST designate a Point of Contact (PoC) responsible for the accuracy of the metadata listed in the GRID.

4.5 GRID Recognised Trade Relevant Data The applicant MUST maintain one or more Registers that contain trade relevant data recognised by the GRID.

Impact

  • Improves eligibility requirement clarity
