Vote For GA resolution Securities Issuers Governance And Disclosures


General Assembly Vote Recommendation

Part of the Information for WA Voters program

Resolution at Vote: Securities Issuers Governance And Disclosures
Vote Recommendation: For

Resolution Analysis
Overview
The resolution mandates a range of rights to participate for "securities issuers", a more technically correct way to define what is commonly understood as "publicly listed companies". There are broad requirements on board participation, voting in relation to connected transactions, investor relations channels, and forced disclosures on executive compensation, and other board level supervision and governance matters. The exact levels of details required are left to the individual states' regulator.

Recommendation
We concede the resolution is flawed in one aspect: the exact details are left to each member nation, and it is possible for nations to make these rules as loose as possible (as is the case in real life). This resolution relies heavily on Reasonable Nation Theory and in turn relies on member nations having sensible governments and competent regulators to manage these complex and technical issues at a local level. We believe this is a practical compromise within the confines of General Assembly resolutions and is a good start - but by no means the end - towards reining in corporate excess.

For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For the General Assembly Resolution at vote, "Securities Issuers Governance And Disclosures".
