I worked on an early draft of the OpenAI misalignment reporting framework, and my immediate coworkers are the authors behind the first batch of reports that have come out through this process.

The primary reason for putting this process in place was to allow more transparency. There was a sense that the DseWiki incident should have been disclosed, before outside researchers had to disclose it for us.

There was no meta gaming about regulation that I was aware of. I would personally be excited if there were regulation mandating this disclosure process, which allows anyone at the company to raise an issue and shepherd it through the reporting process.
