The ICANN Board initially adopted a Conflicts of Interest Policy on 4 March 
1999, pursuant to ICANN Bylaws, Article V, Section 7, and Article VI, Section 
3(b).

The Board Governance Committee ("BGC") has responsibility for administration of 
ICANN's Conflicts of Interest Policy. The Committee charter specifically states 
that the BGC "shall periodically review the Conflicts of Interest Policy and 
consider whether any modifications should be made to the policy to improve its 
effectiveness." In furtherance of its role, the BGC has reviewed and 
significantly revised the Conflicts of Interest Policy in order to, among other 
things, remain current with legal disclosure requirements.

On 23 April 2009, the ICANN Board of Directors followed the BGC's 
recommendation that the revised Conflicts of Interest Policy [PDF, 117K] be 
posted for public comment.
