INNOVATION July-August 2013

Annual Report of the Registration Fairness Panel The Fairness Panel is an independent non-statutory body that examines the fairness of the process when an applicant’s appeal of a registration decision is rejected by the Registration Committee. The panel makes

recommendations to the Registration Committee and Registration Task Force on process, policies and procedures as warranted, and reports to Council on an annual basis. The panel is supported by a pool of expert reviewers who assist when the technical competence of the

applicant is at issue, rather than the process followed or adherence to policy. This year (March 2012-February 2013), the Fairness Panel reviewed 36 cases. Of these cases, 20 were appeals referred to the Fairness Panel by the Registration Committee.
