XIV Determination

Within three (3) business days of receiving the Investigator’s Final Investigation Report, a Decision-maker from the Resolution Process Pool reviews the report and all responses, and then makes the Final Determination by applying the standard of evidence.

 

If the record is incomplete, the Decision-maker may direct the Investigator(s) to re-open the investigation, or may direct or conduct any additional inquiry necessary, including informally meeting with the Parties or any witnesses if needed.

 

The Decision-maker may invite and consider impact and/or mitigation statements from the Parties when determining appropriate sanction(s), if any.
