hi,
i think there is a bug in the wording in Article III, section 3:
The intent, if i understand it correctly, is that if the person agrees
that there is a conflict of interest, then no further action has to be
taken by the board to determine if one exists. It is only in the case
that the person disagrees that there is a Conflict that the board has
to discuss and make a determination.
That is not what the draft policy says.
So i think that in the 2nd sentence of III/3 the words "or possible"
should be deleted:
Immediately afterwards, if the affected member or officer does not
agree that an actual ***or possible *** Conflict of Interest exists,
then that person shall leave the Board meeting while the determination
of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon.
cheers,
jeff
