   Public Comment: Revised Conflicts of Interest Policy

6 May 2009

* * A new public comment period opens today on the revised Conflicts of

to go through to the public comment period (open until 5 June 2009).
The ICANN Board initially adopted a Conflicts of Interest Policy on 4 
March 1999, pursuant to ICANN Bylaws, Article V, Section 7, and Article 
VI, Section 3(b).
The Board Governance Committee ("BGC") has responsibility for 
administration of ICANN's Conflicts of Interest Policy. The Committee 
charter specifically states that the BGC "shall periodically review the 
Conflicts of Interest Policy and consider whether any modifications 
should be made to the policy to improve its effectiveness." In 
furtherance of its role, the BGC has reviewed and significantly revised 
the Conflicts of Interest Policy in order to, among other things, remain 
current with legal disclosure requirements.
On 23 April 2009, the ICANN Board of Directors followed the BGC's 
recommendation that the revised Conflicts of Interest Policy 
<http://www.icann.org/en/committees/coi/coi-policy-06may09-en.pdf> [PDF, 
117K] be posted for public comment.
