Alain, I am not sure Portugal made the same proposal as NPOC's. 
Portugal's is quite detailed and treats separately the actual case of 
IOC and RC, and the proposal to embed in the rules the treatment of 
these cases based on the characteristics of well defined types of 
organizations instead of going on a case by case basis.

I will look for the transcript.
