--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Deputy General Counsel, Securities & Investigations (speak, public): Let's start by discussing our approach to investigating the whistleblower allegation regarding channel stuffing in Q4 2025 LATAM. We need to ensure our investigation is defensible for regulators and auditors, and aligns with our upcoming governance and reporting milestones.
[R0.2] Director of Internal Audit (speak, public): To ensure our investigation is defensible and aligns with governance milestones, can we first discuss the regulatory reporting requirements and how they impact our fact-finding plan, particularly in terms of privilege and disclosure?
[R0.3] Legal Operations & eDiscovery Manager (speak, public): To build a defensible investigation plan, we need to identify our data sources and custodians. We're likely dealing with Microsoft 365 and Slack data, with some mobile devices managed via Intune. Our initial custodian list has 36 individuals, with 14 in the LATAM region. We should discuss the scope of data collection and potential retention risks, particularly with Teams chat retention set at 90 days and Slack workspace Sales-LATAM retention at 30 days.

Can you provide more details on the regulatory reporting privilege and ediscovery and legal hold plan?

We estimate 4.2 TB of M365 data and 180 GB from Slack exports. Our litigation support team can handle up to 12 collections per week. We should also consider our benchmark from a prior regulator matter, where we produced 1.1M documents in a rolling production every 7 days.
