It confirms the record’s eligibility for declassification and disclosure under the Bank’s Access to Information Policy, describes relevant classification considerations, and outlines consultation, comment, and possible escalation steps to COGAM and the Board.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nRequested Disclosure of Board Records:  \nAccess to Information Consultation Memorandum 2021-1  \n(Case Number AI7261)  \n1. Notification: The Executive Directors are hereby notified that the Board record noted in paragraph 2 of this memorandum contains information that is responsive to a public request for access to certain records (Access to Information Case No. AI7261) . It has been determined by the Corporate Secretariat to be eligible for declassification and disclosure under the Bank’s Policy on Access to Information (“AI Policy”) .  \n2. Type, Nature and Information Classification of the Requested Board Record: The public request is for Board records related to Bangladesh’s application for membership to the World Bank between April 10, 1971 and June 30, 1972. The Board record referred to in the following table has been determined to include information responsive to this request.  \n\n| Document Title | Information Classification | ED’s office related to the document’s content |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Minutes ofthe IBRD IDA Board Meeting on May 23, 1972 | Official Use Only | EDS11-Bahrain\u003Cbr>EDS12-Bangladesh\u003Cbr>EDS18-Mexico |\n\n3. Access to Information Policy Considerations: Under the AI Policy, the declassification schedule for minutes of regular sessions of Board meetings is five years when prepared before April 1, 20051, and such minutes can be disclosed if they do not contain information ineligible fordeclassification under the AI Policy.2 As the Board record listed in paragraph 2 meets these requirements, it is eligible for declassification and disclosure. The AI Policy provides that the Board may, under exceptional circumstances, exercise the Bank’s prerogative to restrict access toa Board record that would normally be disclosed, if it determines that the disclosure of the record would likely cause harm that would outweigh the benefits of the disclosure.3  \n4. Process: Under procedures approved by the Board, this consultation memorandum is being submitted to Executive Directors, so they have an opportunity to review and comment on the disclosure of this Board record.4 Management is also consulted about the disclosure of Board records when relevant. After the closing date for comments, if concerns/objections have not been expressed by an Executive Director or management the Board record will be disclosed by management in accordance with the AI Policy. If any concerns/objections from an Executive Director and/or management are received, they will be submitted to COGAM, and subsequently to the Board, for further consideration.5  \n1 AI Policy, Section III.B.6(b)(i) .  \n2 AI Policy, Section III.B.6(a) .  \n3 AI Policy, Section IV.2(a) .  \n4 Access to Information Policy: Streamlining Procedures for Disclosure of Board Records; R2016-0213[IDA/R2016- 0256] dated November 2, 2016, section 5(A) .  \n5 Id at 5(A)(ii)-(iii) .  \n5.
