Whether you like it or not, what Cor states is within the rules the
board operates under:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/BoD_rules (in particular, the
current CoI policy).

That might be your personal opinion, but since TDF is not an EU
institution, we operate under slightly different rules. Paolo knows
this, and has personally participated in discussion around LibreOffice
Online (where he has/had an interest).

Cheers,

Thorsten and Gabor declared a personal interest on the above topics (see
above). I ask if they both attended the call and the discussion during
this three topics of the private part of the meeting. Who lead the
meeting as chair during this three topics?


A personal interest is not a conflict of interest which in general is
not a reason to abstain from discussing topics.


sorry to be very clear here: I've never read or heard such nonsense
inside other communities, I'm active in.

I think the documents, linked by Paolo in his email on this list, should
show, that all members with a personal interest had to keep out of any
discussion (and decision) of the corresponding topics.


Further question: why didn't declare Cor also a personal interest about
this three topics?


Sorry if it is not there. IIRC I said the same applied for me - as is
usually the case - so my name should be there in the minutes too.


I ask you and also Thorsten and Gabor to not participate in any
discussion (and decision) of the corresponding topics. This is important
because otherwise you violate obligations as board member and create
liabilities.

Regards,
Andreas
