Dear board (current & new), *,there's another update to the board CoI policy now in draft status, I've uploaded it with enabled change tracking here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/e/e5/BoD_Conflict_of_Interest_Policy_ver1_3_2_draft_2022-02-15.pdf Modifications are in sections 5.1 and 6.3. The changes were discussed in the legal group, and drafted by Mike.
I had a look at my emails and the only reference I found about the changes in the CoI by a member of the legal oversight team (me) said that the changes in 6.3 were OK, but nothing about 5.1, and that as suggested by our legal counsel we will use 1.3.2 as base for eventual future versions.
Could you point me to emails from other members of the legal oversight team stating that 1.3.2 was ready and accepted for adoption?
Many called for unanimous consent for adoption of the CoI Policy so I believe there should be also unanimous consent for changes to be published and then adopted IMHO.
I propose a brief discussion here (in case there's a need) and would subsequently then ask the new board if they would want to adopt it as the working policy on our first, inaugural board call.
I would have been good to talk in generic terms about the changes that the new draft would have brought to the CoI Policy while at the same time asking to the legal oversight team if the new version was OK to be published before publishing it.
