Is the current ICANN Ombusman [and his predecessor] placing himself in a conflict of interest by participating in the sub-group which will have responsibility for the external review of the Office of the Ombudsman? If so what should the Ombudsman do to avoid
such a conflict (completely recuse himself from all aspects or only from making or approving recommendations)?</div>
