It explains that the Corporate Secretariat has determined the listed records are eligible for declassification and disclosure under the Bank’s Access to Information Policy. It details the applicability of the deliberative information exception and corresponding declassification schedule timelines, then describes review and consultation steps for Executive Directors and management before disclosure decisions are finalized.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nRequested Disclosure of Board Records:  \nAccess to Information Consultation Memorandum 2025-1  \n(Case Numbers AI9566 and AI9908)  \n1. Notification: The Executive Directors are hereby notified that the Board records noted in paragraph 2 of this consultation memorandum contain information that is responsive to public requests for access to certain records (Access to Information Case Nos AI9566 and AI9908) . The records have been determined by the Corporate Secretariat to be eligible for declassification and disclosure under the Bank’s Policy on Access to Information (“ATI Policy”) .  \n2. Type, Information Classification, and Nature of the Board Records Requested: The Board records listed in the Annex to this memorandum, summarized below, have been determined to include information responsive to the two public requests for Board records. A total of 27 records are listed in this memorandum:  \n\n| Case No. | Nature of Request | No. of Board records responsive to request |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| AI95661 | Drafts of the IFC and IDA Articles of Agreement considered by a committee of the Board of Executive Directors or by the Board of Executive Directors2 (documents created in 1955 (for IFC) and 1959-60 (for IDA) | 25 |\n| AI9908 | Minutes, notes, or transcripts relating to the meeting of the Executive Directors ofthe IBRD, held on 14 May 1968 | 2 |\n|  | Total number of documents under this consultation: | 27 |\n\n3. Access to Information Policy Considerations: Under the ATI Policy, information restricted only by the Deliberative Information exception is eligible for declassification and disclosure in accordance with the ATI Policy’s declassification schedule.3 The declassification schedule for Board minutes of regular sessions prepared before April 1, 2005 is five years, and ten years for Executive Director Statements and transcripts of regular sessions of Board meetings.4 Asthe versions of the Board records noted in the Annex have been determined to be subject only to the ATI Policy’s Deliberative Information exception and satisfy their corresponding declassification schedule age requirements, they are all eligible for declassification and disclosure. The ATI Policy provides that the Board may, under exceptional circumstances, exercise the Bank’s prerogative to restrict access to Board records that would normally be disclosed, if it determines that the disclosure of the records would likely cause harm that would outweigh the benefits of the disclosure.5  \n1 These documents have been determined to be analogous to Executive Directors Statements for the purposes of this Consultation Memorandum.  \n2 It is noted that Board transcripts related to the Board discussions regarding the creation of IDA and IFC have been publicly disclosed, after previous consultations with Executive Directors (SecM2020-0026 for IDA; SecM2019-0152 for IFC) .  \n3 ATI Policy, Section III.B.6(a) and (b) .  \n4 ATI Policy, Section III.B.6(b)(i) and (ii) .  \n5 ATI Policy, Section IV.2(a) .  \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 these Board records.6 Management is also consulted about the disclosure of Board records when relevant. After the closing date for comments, the Board records for which concerns/objections have not been expressed by an Executive Director or management will be disclosed by management in accordance with the ATI Policy. Any Board records which receive concerns/objections from an Executive Director and/or management will be submitted to COGAM, and subsequently to the Board, for further consideration.7  \n5.
