IOSCO FINALIZES CONSULTATION POLICY AND PROCEDURES

In November 2004, the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO){1} published for public comment a draft statement of its Consultation Policy and Procedures. The document was posted on IOSCO's website at www.iosco.org (Library - IOSCO Public Document #175). Staff Notice 11-741 about the draft Consultation Policy and Procedures was published in the OSC Bulletin on November 12, 2004. The Staff Notice and the draft Consultation Policy and Procedures also were posted on the Ontario Securities Commission's website at www.osc.gov.on.ca (International Affairs - Current Consultations).

The consultation period closed on January 8, 2005 and IOSCO subsequently published the comments it received on its website (Library - Public Document #191). After evaluating the comments it received, IOSCO revised the draft statement and published the final version of its Consultation Policy and Procedures in April 2005. This document can be downloaded from IOSCO's website (Library - Public Document #197). It also can be downloaded from the OSC's website at www.osc.gov.on.ca (International Affairs - Current Consultations) until the end of 2005.
