The Shareholders Research Oversight Advisory Group is composed of Individual Shareholders as described in the Membership section, and is elected by the eligible Membership to serve a two-year term. The elections for either two or three shall be held each year to assume their offices September 1.
The Oversight Advisory Group is At-Large, but one Overseer may be elected by the shareholders of any specific public company to provide Oversight on research for that company only in conjunction with the full Advisory Group. Overseers have a right to conduct due diligence on the process associated with analyst qualifications and assignment, and with the procedures by which the analysts are assigned and produce their research to insure that the process is free of conflict, bias or pecuniary interest.
The Oversight Advisory Group is not responsible for any errors or omissions in its process conducted in good faith and solely on behalf of the Shareholders Research Alliance Membership that has elected them and for no one else, and does not, of course, accept any responsibility for the content or findings of a report, nor anything associated with the professional judgment of a qualified analyst, and does not either validate or dispute any report. These are the sole judgments of the analysts.
