[council] Re: [gnso-ppsc] question of conflict of interest

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Avri.  I understand your concern and if those on the PPSC and PDP-WT or 
the Council believe that I will not be able to do both, I will step down as 
Chair of both the SC and WT.  

I will note, however, that there is no bylaw or operational procedure that bars 
a council member from serving as the chair of a working group and I am fine 
with continuing to serve as well.

That said, I am happy to follow the will of the Council and the policy teams.

Subject: [gnso-ppsc] question of conflict of interest


hi,

As I have done before in other circumstances, I question the legitimacy of 
having a chair for the PPSC  or the PDP WT who has ascended to the GNSO council 
and is one of its vice-chairs    I believe that the influence a council member, 
who is in the position of approving or disapproving the work of PPSC and its 
WTs is not consistent with also being a Chair of either the PPSC or of a WT.

This is a personal question at this point, but I will be forwarding this note 
to the NCSG  to seek their advice on the issue.

thanks
