Violation Description: ORR's preliminary view was that RACF's rules as a whole may have the effect of restricting or distorting competition in the relevant market by imposing significant barriers to entry on new market participants. RACF has offered commitments as follows (see also Schedule 1), which shall be implemented by no later than 2 May 2022, with the stated purpose of addressing ORR's competition concerns: (a) To adopt and publish rules of membership in the form agreed in draft by ORR; (b) For a period of five years from the date of this commitments document, to notify ORR of any changes made to the rules and/or the policies referred to within the rules; (c) To make the rules of membership publicly available on RACF's website within 28 days of being first implemented by RACF and keep an up-to-date version of the rules on RACF's website; and (d) To retain information on membership applications and decisions for a period of three years following each application and decision and to provide such information to ORR on reasonable request and on reasonable notice (and in accordance with Data Protection Laws); and (e) To include on RACF's website an explanatory note explaining what the rules are intended to achieve.
