I do agree with Eduardo on point a). If we do mean US federal and state law (which I believe is the correct intention), then we should actually state that in order to avoid misinterpretation.

 

Regards,

Claus

Without intending to get into a point-by-point discussion of what was and was not discussed and accepted or rejected, I'd like to mention just a couple of things:

a) Paul says that the policy refers to US state and federal law. Nowhere in the policy does the word US (or USA or US of A) appear in the text, so my point that the writing point-of-view is too US-centric is in fact reinforced: only a US-centric mind-set reads "state and federal law" to mean "US state and federal law". I would guess that a Mexican or Brazilian citizen may interpret the text differently.

b) regarding chair: the original text said "the chairperson of the Board shall appoint" (line 49); the new text says "the chairperson of the Board shall appoint" (line 38 or 39 depending on what PDF you're reading). I fail to see how my suggestion was accepted.

Let me make it clear again, I'm not proposing we should get into a detailed discussion that I'm sure would just be a re-hashing of what the committee went through; all I said was that I was disappointed that only a trivial suggestion of mine was accepted, I wish I could have been more convincing.

The issue of disambiguating ‘chair’ from ‘chairperson of the meeting’ was also taken on – and we accepted your suggestion

Eduardo,

 

We are certainly grateful for your active interest. Each of your comments was carefully discussed. I can’t remember all the items (I’m sitting in a hotel room with limited time), but I do remember that your concern about exclusive reference to the US (only US state & federal law are discussed in the CoI) was certainly considered.

 

The conclusion was that the approach in this case were both deliberate & correct.  Consider that even if a director is a non-US citizen, the liabilities and risks mitigated by this policy come up precisely and exclusively under US law, because (unlike W3C or IETF) we are a nonprofit corporation organized under US law. That was the thinking.

 

In short, even if the conclusions were not always what you would have liked, your suggestions were not given short shrift.

 

Thanks again for your input.

 

Regards,

Paul

I  am disappointed to see that all of my comments, with the exception of a small grammatical suggestion regarding line 1, have been ignored.

Hello,
 
As you remember, an earlier draft of the Conflict of Interest Policy was submitted in advance of the February Board meeting to allow time for comment. After careful consideration of all comments received, the attached documents (clean and redline) have been approved by the Board's Governance Committee at its meeting of 03 March 2011.
 
The Committee asks that this be included as an "A" item for decision, at the Board's meeting of 17 March 2011.  
 
Respectfully submitted,
Paul
