| 6 | ICANN’s MSM should serve as the reference in encouraging all participants (individuals or parties) to declare and update existing or potential conflicts-of-interest, each time a vote takes place or consensus is sought. | ICANN Board; ICANN Staff; ICANN Community | TG1 |
| ON HOLD - Pending External Process Pending CCWG-Accountability WS2 outcome |
Actions:
- : Assignees to modify the wording of this recommendation
- : Ariel Liang to email this recommendation to the IANA-issues mailing list to encourage members to propose modified wording.
Notes:
- :
- It seems to be a standard practice as it is reflected in the way that working groups and the Board conduct their work.
- It is uncertain whether all participants explicitly declare and update existing or potential conflicts-of-interests. This request doesn't seem to be included in the CCWG-Accountability Report.
- :
- The wording of this recommendation seems to be a bit over-reaching. We may not want to have all members to declare conflicts of interests during every single vote. We, however, expect members to update their conflicts of interests regularly.
- Re conflicts of interests updates, it seems that every community group has some type of rules (e.g. SOIs in GNSO, ALAC) that are appropriate to what they are doing.
- Conflict of interests issues will be dealt with by CCWG-Accountability WS2?
- :
- Members' conflicts of interests should be updated if their status change (with regard to their work and other potential areas of conflict of interests).
