The WG was formed in August 2018 and completed the policy development process in December 2020. While the WG agreed on the majority of the policy, the members did not reach consensus on one aspect in the policy element 3 (which outlines remedy requirements for past conversion): how to deal with those organizations that were not involved in the conversion of the management unit. To complete the policy, FSC commissioned Richard Donovan to develop a White Paper on Conversion proposing options for a methodology to address the issue of the ownership loophole. The White Paper:  \n• Examines the ownership loopholes identified in the September 2020 Green Paper,  \n• Includes interviews with FSC staff and members around the globe, plus outside experts, focusing on individuals who may have relevant experience or information related to ownership loopholes, certification systems and due diligence processes, compensation, remediation or restitution,  \n• Examines other initiatives (certification systems, etc.) that may or may not have related ownership loophole experience globally, and,  \n• Builds on other ongoing FSC activities (e.g. , revision of the Policy for Association (PfA) , work of the FSC Conversion Policy and multiple chamber-balanced and technical working groups) .  \nBased on the above, the White Paper provides recommendations related to the ownership loophole, including proposed relationships between various factors (e.g. , when the conversion occurred, known or unknown ownership related to a specific conversion, degree of environmental and social harm caused by the conversion, etc. ) and the level of remedy to be required.  \nThe FSC secretariat is discussing these recommendations with the Policy and Standards Committee (PSC) and the Board of Directors (BoD) , and a final proposal will be incorporated in the policy. The Policy to Address Conversion will then be submitted to the PSC and BoD for review and approval in Q4 2021. Further information of the finalization process will be updated on the FSC Policy to Address Conversion webpage here.  \nQUESTIONS  \n1 What is the background of the White paper?  \n2 What is the “ownership loophole”?  \n3 What are the different types of ownership loopholes?  \n4 What are the related issues for FSC membership?  \n5 What are the key processes in FSC relevant to ownership loophole?  \n6 What are the experiences from other organizations related to ownership loophole?  \n7 What are the desired outcomes for addressing ownership loopholes?  \n8 How to address conversion between november 1994 and the effective date of the conversion policy?  \n9 How to address conversion happening after the effective date of the conversion policy?  \n10 What is the proposed ‘discovery’ phase?  \n1 What is the  \nbackground of the White Paper?  \nInstead of reaching consensus on the policy element 3 of the Policy to Address Conversion, the Motion 7 WG developed two options as following:  \nOption 1:   \nFSC aims to incentivize and advance the restoration* and conservation* of natural forest* and restitution* of social harms* associa","cbCaiqJ9YGNooi8e","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqJ9YGNooi8e","pdf",447799,15,"English","# Introduction\n# Questions\n## Background of the White Paper\n## Ownership loophole definition and types\n## FSC membership-related issues and key processes\n## Experiences from other organizations\n## Desired outcomes\n## Addressing conversions before/after policy effective date\n## Proposed discovery phase\n# Policy options for addressing remedy requirements","[{\"question\":\"What is the background of the White Paper?\",\"answer\":\"Motion 7 at the FSC General Assembly 2017 requested a holistic policy and appropriate treatment at principle, criterion, and indicator levels, considering restoration/conservation and restitution for socio-economic values.
