Dear Ethics Committee Members, Good afternoon. (Cc: Executive Board Members) Glad to announce that the Second ELSA Audit is ready to kick-off next Monday. For the Second ELSA Audit we will introduce the following improvements: * Participants: * Engage additional participants, to ensure at least 1 participant per Beneficiary organization. * This criteria leads to total count of 46 participants (14 WP Leaders + 32 non- WP Leaders) * The list of participants is in the attached Excel file “ELSA-Audit-2020-ELSA-Champions.xlsx”. Participation may be delegated, as permitted during last year’s audit. * Control objectives: * Minor change in assertion “4 / Fundamental rights / Solidarity and Subsidiarity”, based on feedback received during last year’s audit. * Depending on whether or not the participant is a WP Leader, the scope of some questions is adapted accordingly (see attached Excel files): * For WP Leaders: “In the scope of the WP that I lead,…” * For non- WP Leader: “In the scope of the WPs that I participate in,…” * Design implications: * Results from the First and the Second ELSA Audits will be directly comparable. * Results from the First and the Second ELSA Audits will enable us to compare the answers of WP Leaders against the answers of participants that are not WP Leaders. * Calendar: * Timeframe: early November.
