such as the go/no-go decision, were being dealt with elsewhere.

4 The rapporteur points out that the word “standard” can be broadly interpreted for two reasons. First, the FSF’s
website (www.fsforum.org) describes a standard as setting out “what are widely accepted as good principles,
practices or guidance in a given area.” Second, in a letter dated April 18, 2000, the FSF’s Chairman, Mr. Andrew
Crockett, invited Mr. Sabourin to lead the WGDI in order to set out “international guidance on sound deposit
insurance arrangements.” The letter noted that Forum members had underscored that “guidance should be undertaken
through a broad consultative process that would include other countries that are interested in deposit insurance
issues, so as to ensure that the guidelines are reflective of, and adaptable to, the broadest set of circumstances,
settings and sound structures.”
