    -The nature of the Subsidiary Policies ("SubPols"): -

    - -
    1. - SubPols are purposed to check the organisation - under the rules of the jurisdiction that creates the - organisation.

    5. - There could also be SubPols for special - organisations, one person organisations, - UN agencies, churches, etc. -
    6. - Where it is appropriate to use the SubPol - in another situation (another country?), it - can be so approved. - (e.g., Austrian SubPol might be approved for Germany.) - The SubPol must record this approval. -
    - - -

    4. Process

    - -

    4.3 Jurisdiction

    - - -
    1. - Conflicts of Interest. - An OA must not assure an organisation in which - there is a close or direct relationship by, e.g., - employment, family, financial interests. - Other conflicts of interest must be disclosed. -
    2. - Trusted Third Parties. - TTPs are not generally approved to be part of - organisation assurance, - but may be approved by subsidiary policies according - to local needs. -
    3. - Exceptional Organisations. - (e.g., Vatican, International Space Station, United Nations) - can be dealt with as a single-organisation - SubPol. - The OA creates the checks, documents them, - and subjects them to to normal policy approval. -
    4. - DBA. - Alternative names for organisations - (DBA, "doing business as") - can be added as long as they are proven independently. - E.g., registration as DBA or holding of registered trade mark. - This means that the anglo law tradition of unregistered DBAs - is not accepted without further proof. -
