That is in direct contradiction to my statement up-thread. So what

If you made a statement it doesn't mean that is correct and contradicting it doesn't invalidate a proposal.

As from BoD RoP:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/BoD_rules

"In addition to § 7, (5) of the statutes, the Board of Directors hereby agrees on the following rules of procedure." "Binding part of these Rules of Procedure is the Board’s Conflict of Interest Policy"

I'm sure that all current members of the board have read the rules and have accepted to be bound by the current CoI Policy. Denying acceptance of our Statutes, public BoD Rules of Procedures and related CoI policy now would not send out a very good message.

But let's hear what the rest of the board thinks.

We may need to organise a session to explain to the new board members why we need a CoI Policy, how we got to the current version and what are the implications in regards to their decision processes before they could express and informed opinion.

Without that they may not even know why we should rush in minor changes.

Allowing the MC to do its part and working together with them to create a version 2 will allow the new board members to understand better the policy and provide proper informed opinions.

Cheers,

-- Thorsten

Ciao

Paolo
