Section 2-7: Documentary Evidence to Substantiate Program Eligibility Local areas are required to verify eligibility through an examination of documents. For all WIOA formula funding streams, physical evidence is required to be in participant files to minimize the risk of disallowed costs. Self-attestation is acceptable for some data elements, but it still must be recorded. Local areas may choose to implement a more restrictive documentation policy, but it should not be so restrictive as to create an unnecessary burden. For all participants, the following items must be verified and documented: Age/Date of Birth. Employment Authorization. Selective Service Registration for Males. Social Security Number. Additional documentation, as appropriate, is required for the following: Low Income Individual. Family Income. Cash Public Assistance. Other Public Assistance (Food Assistance, Refugee Assistance). Supplemental Security Income. Social Security Disability Income. Homeless Individual. Disabled Individual. Dislocated Worker Criteria, including Date of Dislocation. Termination/Layoff. Plant Closure/Substantial Layoff. Self-employed, but now Unemployed. Displaced Homemaker. The federal Data Report and Validation System requires that the State of Michigan be able to verify a participant’s information. In return, the State of Michigan requires the MWAs to be able to substantiate, with documentation, the participant’s information. In the event information is not required by the federal government or the State of Michigan, the decision whether or not to maintain such documentation in the participant’s file is up to the local board. In the event of Priority of Service, documentation of a participant’s given priority should be kept in the individual’s file. Verification vs. Documentation Verification means to confirm an eligibility requirement through examination of official documents. Documentation means to maintain on file physical evidence which is obtained through the verification process, including written confirmation by an authorized agency or organization of one or more WIOA eligibility criteria, and which reflects the individual’s status as of the date of registration for such eligibility criteria.

Part I – License agreements Section 1 – Kind of agreement Section 1 is about the kind of agreement you are negotiating. This is important. Do not skip over it. Is the intended agreement a license agreement or some other kind of agreement? Checklist applies Does the agreement contain consent to use subject matter which is protected by some kind of IP in some way? If yes, this checklist applies. Checklist does not apply Is the agreement solely for the sale or purchase of a good or receiving or giving a service? If yes, then it is not a license agreement and this checklist does not apply. Is the agreement for you, party A, to do work for party B (e.g. as an employee or service provider)? If yes, that is not a license agreement and this checklist does not apply. Is the agreement called a license, but does not mention any subject matter that is protected by IP? Or does it mention IP that is not protected in the country where the desired technology will be made, used or sold? Then it is not a license agreement and this checklist does not apply. Is the agreement for consulting services, where party A advises party B and gives non-confidential information and know how? If so, it is not a license agreement and this checklist does not apply. Does the draft agreement clearly create a binding obligation on a material term? Is it an agreement to agree in the future about something important (e.g. “The parties will meet to discuss in good faith the royalty rate”)? Is it a Memorandum of Understanding or Letter of Intent? If yes to any of the questions in this bullet, this is not a license agreement at all and the checklist does not apply. A license agreement sets forth definitive agreements on all material terms. Other issues Is the agreement for the development of a technology that does not exist or is incomplete? If so, it is a development agreement. But it probably also contains terms regarding IP used in the development and terms regarding who will own the IP in the newly developed technology, and whether either party will have a license to use the IP in the newly developed technology. If so, it is a combination development agreement and license agreement, and this checklist applies. All items at and in addition at of this checklist apply.

WIPO/GRTKF/IC/22/INF/8, respectively. The revised version of the glossary was made available as information documents for the Twenty-Third, Twenty-Fourth, Twenty-Fifth, Twenty-Sixth and Twenty-Seventh Sessions of the IGC. The revised version no longer contains any references to the texts being negotiated in the IGC, to prevent the glossary becoming outdated after each IGC session. The same version of the glossary is ontained in the Annex to the present doument. 5. The glossary draws, as far as possible, from previous glossaries of the IGC and from existing United Nations and other international instruments. The document also takes into account definitions and glossaries which can be found in national and regional laws and draft laws, multilateral instruments, other organizations and processes and in dictionaries. Further, definitions are based on working documents of the IGC, other WIPO documents and documents of other work programs of WIPO. That said, the proposed definitions are not exhaustive. Other terms may also be relevant to intellectual property and genetic resources, traditional knowledge, and traditional cultural expressions and the terms selected may also be defined in other ways. 6. The selection of key terms is based on the terms used most frequently in the draft articles and other related documents. The selection and proposed definitions contained in the Annex are without prejudice to any other glossary or definitions of key terms contained in previous documents of this IGC or in any other international, regional or national instrument or fora. The selection and proposed definitions of key terms are not intended to suggest that the selection of terms or their proposed definitions are necessarily agreed upon by participants in the IGC. This is an information document and the IGC is not requested to endorse or adopt either the selection of terms or their proposed definitions. 7. The IGC is invited to take note of this document and the Annex to it. [Annex follows]
Although the language is more or less similar at first glance, there are some variations in terminology, which the IGC might wish to pay close attention to in order to find the most suitable formulation in both texts. I also note that the GRs text makes reference to customary laws and protocols while the others do not. 16 Capacity building TK/TCEs/GRs Article 13 TCEs Article 13 GRs Both the TCEs and GRs texts provide provisions for “Capacity Building and Awareness Raising”, and “Technical Assistance, Cooperation and Capacity Building”, respectively. The IGC could consider including an article on capacity building in the TK text as well, or, at least, adopt a uniform approach to this issue. 17 Structure of text and headings of articles TK/TCEs/GRs For the sake of clarity and ease of reference, it is recommended that as far as possible, a similar structure be used in the TK, TCEs and GRs texts and that the titles of the articles be reviewed and standardized across the three texts, where applicable and possible.

The nine members of the Fund Advisory Board serve independently and take their decisions in their personal capacity; candidates for funding are required to provide documents to support their application, in practice in the form of an application form and curriculum vitae, which facilitates the review of their application based on the funding criteria; the Advisory Board’s recommendations are binding on the WIPO Secretariat which merely provides the necessary administrative support and implements these recommendations in strict conformity with the Fund’s rules; and, three members of the Advisory Board are from accredited observers representing one or more indigenous or local communities. Efficiency: no deductions from the Fund for administrative costs The members of the Advisory Board meet on the margins of the IGC session in which they are participating. They are not paid or compensated for the tasks that they carry out; the Advisory Board is required to conclude its deliberations before the end of the session during which it meets; the WIPO Secretariat is not authorized to draw on the Fund to cover any administrative costs; and, a specific clause in the Fund’s rules is designed to keep administrative costs to a strict minimum. Results (April 2006 – July 20, 2016) A total of 531 applications for funding in view of 22 sessions of the IGC (31th session included) and two meetings of the Intersessional Working Group (IWG) have been processed so far during 22 meetings of the Fund’s Advisory Board. A total of 173 applications were recommended for funding by the Advisory Board in view of the 10th until the 30th session of the IGC (inclusive), including two IWGs. During that period, 134 recommended applications were actually funded, in support of the participation of 69 different representatives of various indigenous and local communities in those 21 sessions of the IGC and two IWGs. III.

The nine members of the Fund Advisory Board serve independently and take their decisions in their personal capacity; candidates for funding are required to provide documents to support their application, in practice in the form of an application form and curriculum vitae, which facilitates the review of their application based on the funding criteria; the Advisory Board’s recommendations are binding on the WIPO Secretariat which merely provides the necessary administrative support and implements these recommendations in strict conformity with the Fund’s rules; and, three members of the Advisory Board are from accredited observers representing one or more indigenous or local communities. Efficiency: no deductions from the Fund for administrative costs The members of the Advisory Board meet on the margins of the IGC session in which they are participating. They are not paid or compensated for the tasks that they carry out; the Advisory Board is required to conclude its deliberations before the end of the session during which it meets; the WIPO Secretariat is not authorized to draw on the Fund to cover any administrative costs; and, a specific clause in the Fund’s rules is designed to keep administrative costs to a strict minimum. Results (April 2006 – January 11, 2018) A total of 580 applications for funding in view of 26 sessions of the IGC (35th session of the IGC included) and 2 meetings of the Intersessional Working Group (IWG) have been processed so far during 26 meetings of the Fund’s Advisory Board. From the 10th until the 26th sessions of the IGC included, 134 applications recommended by the Advisory Board were funded by the Voluntary Fund, in support of the participation of 69 different representatives of various indigenous and local communities. From the 27th to the 33d Session of the IGC included, the Fund was unable to finance any recommended applicant for funding, due to a lack of contributions. As a result of a fresh contribution made on February 2017, five additional recommended applications were funded in support of the participation in the 34th session of the IGC of five representatives of indigenous and local communities.
