56 APPENDIX THE ET CARBON RANKING QUALITY ASSURANCE PANEL The Quality Assurance Panel consists of professionals from different disciplines and backgrounds who review the ET Carbon Ranking methodology, assisting the process of integrating new rules as and when they become feasible and appropriate. The Panel meets at least once a year to discuss, review and vote on any changes made to the methodology. The Panel also has a responsibility to deal with submissions under the ET Carbon Ranking Appeal Procedure. ET Index Research distinguishes between issues of methodology and issues of data accuracy. In the case of a methodology submission, such as comments on disclosure categories or the inference methodology employed, these will be presented to the Panel for review and determination. In the case of a Data Appeal where a company feels its publicly reported information has been inaccurately represented in the Carbon Rankings (e.g. a decimal place is in the wrong place) the Chairman of the Panel will act as the arbiter in any case where ET Index Research and the company in question cannot resolve the issue under the existing Appeal Procedure. Michael Mainelli, Panel Chair Alderman Professor Michael Mainelli is Emeritus Mercers’ School Memorial Professor of Commerce at Gresham College, having held the chair from 2005 to 2009. His first degree was in Government from Harvard, followed by mathematics and engineering studies at Trinity College Dublin and a PhD from the London School of Economics in chaotic systems, where he was also a Visiting Professor. Professor Mainelli is Executive Chairman of Z/Yen, the City of London’s leading commercial think-tank and venture firm, which he co-founded in 1994 to promote societal advance through better finance and technology. A qualified accountant (FCCA), securities professional (FCSI), computer specialist (FBCS) and management consultant (FIC), Michael began his career as a research scientist in aerospace (rockets) and computing (architecture & mapping). He later became a senior partner with accountants BDO Binder Hamlyn directing global consulting projects. During the 1990s he worked for the UK Ministry of Defence as Corporate Development Director for Europe’s then largest R&D firm, the Defence Evaluation & Research Agency leading to two privatisations. Career highlights include directing Z/Yen’s Long Finance initiative with Gresham College and the City of London Corporation asking “when would we know our financial system is working?” as well as creating the Global Financial Centres Index, Global Intellectual Property Index, London Accord and Farsight Award. Michael also conceived and produced the first complete digital map of the world in 1983, Mundocart (a 1980’s Google Earth), and the $20 million Geodat consortium cartography project.
