<pre wrap="">Bruce -
I think this is an excellent proposal. As you know, the registrar
constituency has had similar practices embodied in its bylaws for a
number of years.
However, simply because the bylaws is silent on a specific set of
behaviors, doesn't mean that we can't officially adopt these

I also believe that it is time for the Council of the GNSO to adopt
some explicit conflict of interest management processes - but I
believe they should be mandatory. At first, we should proceed
cautiously with these. A light-weight approach would seem to be most
prudent. Over time, we could improve and expand upon the approach in
ways that make it more useful for our purposes.
My preference would not be to create a "design committee" to come up
with a comprehensive proposal at this time. As a first step, I think
your proposal makes eminent sense, and I would like to
