<div>All,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I agree with the concepts that one should be free of conflict as soon as it accepts the appointment. But that is not what Anne’s language states. Anne’s language states that it should be free of conflicts upon application which I do not necessarily
agree with. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">For example, I am a consultant that sometimes advises registries and registrars. Some of those registries and registrars may be applying for a TLD in the next round and I may or may not know that. If I were to accept the appointment I would
need to make sure that i do not continue to represent those registries and registrars going forward. I should not be required to rid myself of those clients on the day I apply for a position that I may or may not get. After all, if I do not get the appointment,
now I have gotten rid of my clients AND do not have work going forward.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Of course, if I get a position as a vendor, then of course I need to rid myself of those potential conflicts. This is how the normal conflict process works.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">So if we changed Anne’s language to “upon acceptance of the appointment”, I think that makes more sense.</div>

Hi all - apologies for having had to miss the October 10 meeting. I have just reviewed the Zoom. </p>
</div>
<div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
To: Antonietta - I have one comment on the language in 2.4.3 which talks about the timing of applying the ethical obligations.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
The current language says that the ethical obligations "begin upon acceptance of the appointment" as a vendor. However, it strikes me that the ethical obligations must begin upon application to accept an appointment because the vendor should be free and clear
of conflicts of interest upon application and should represent that it has no conflicts upon making application for the appointment.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
If others agree, could you please address by changing "upon acceptance of the appointment" to "upon application for the appointment" or some similar change in the language? I don't think we want a vendor who maintains a conflict unless and until the vendor
is appointed and then drops that conflict to address this requirement.</p>
