Implementation Details The At-Large Community has an established practice for members to declare and update existing or potential conflicts-of-interest via the online Statement of Interest (SOI) form. In particular, before and after an ALAC or RALO election or selection, relevant At-Large members are required to update their SOIs. ALAC members, ALAC liaisons, and RALO leaders are also requested to update their SOIs immediately following every Annual General Meeting. In other ICANN groups, such practice also exists but varies somewhat, depending on their rules and work procedures. For example, in the GNSO, its working groups require every member to fill out a SOI as a prerequisite for membership; GNSO Council members must state changes to their SOIs, if any, at the beginning of every Council meeting. However, there is limitation to expand or streamline such practice in all Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees due to their structural or operational differences. They need to develop their own workable, enforceable mechanism to ensure that members declare and update conflicts-of-interest regularly and on a timely manner. Next Step The At-Large Community will continue improving its mechanism for members to declare and update conflicts-of-interest. The ALAC will follow GNSO’s example and require ALAC members and liaisons to state changes to their SOIs, if any, at the beginning of every ALAC monthly teleconference. |
