Establishing timeline commitments for Affcom to
respond to requests for
approvals or for Affcom to ask new questions about a requested approval.
Having approval requests stay open for weeks with no communication from
Affcom creates challenges for thematic orgs which are working on our own
timelines that may have dependencies on Affcom action. I have experienced
this myself and have heard about similar issues happening with other
requests. I suggest that Affcom have a commitment that all inquiries will
recieve substantive responses within 14 days of the date of the inquiry, or
otherwise Legal will take over the handling of the inquiry so that progress
of thorgs can continue in a timely manner.
Hi Pine,
I feel obliged to point out that, while AffCom works closely with the Legal
team, we're not actually part of it. Any suggestions you have for
improvements to the AffCom workflow should really be addressed to the
committee, not to Geoff.
Cheers,
Kirill
