RE: [pdp-pcceg-feb06] Statement of Interest for Ross Rader

["Cubberley, Maureen \(CHT\)" <MCubberley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ken,

 

I have been delayed in responding to you, and in the interim, a
suggestion has been made that we roll all of these considerations into
the discussion on procedures at our upcoming meeting. 

 

I have re-visited my original post and your reply, and agree with you
that the ratification element should be included, and that the inclusion
of both executory and contingent interests is *extremely* important.

 

So it looks like our COI/SOI policy should be multi-faceted, both in
what is declared, and how frequently (i.e. scheduled ratifications
together with interim declarations, as needed.)

 

Just wanted to keep those thoughts alive and on deck for the upcoming
discussion.

 

Best regards,

Maureen

maureen...

i think your approach is basically sound here but i do believe that a
quarterly "ratification" by each council member would be a good
procedure.
it can be accoumplished quite easily by a quick response to a query by
the gnso secretariat.

as to the "interests" covered in this statement, i believe that specific
reference s/b made to "executory" or "contingent" interests as well..
icann council can provide any explainations & elaborations on this
category to the council.

Good morning Ross, and All,

 

..........a suggestion.............

 

As you know, I have raised the issue of formalizing our internal
processes around Conflicts / Statements of Interest at two of our recent
Council meetings.

 

Your up-date posting today, (together with the recent ones from Bruce,
Robin and Brett, which were similar in nature in that they, too,
provided updates) could serve as the model we are looking for. 

 

Instead of mandating that we must provide updates quarterly or annually,
or according some other set time frame, I think this idea of simply
updating one's statement as warranted is an approach we should consider.

 

It is simple, it eliminates the need to establish a schedule and issue
reminders, and most importantly, it reflects the rapidly changing nature
of the world that we work in; More and more, partnerships and alliances
are short-term and project-specific.

 

So, I propose that we formalize some version of "updates as appropriate"
as part Council's approach to eliciting and maintaining current
Statements of Interest.

 

Best regards,

Maureen
