ATLAS II Recommendation 6
Dear ALAC members, The ATLAS II Implementation Task Force is actively following up on the ATLAS II Recommendations contained in the At-Large Declaration drafted during the second At-Large Summit that took place in London in June 2014. I would like to draw your attention to Recommendation 6: Ref. https://community.icann.org/x/LpZCAw ICANN’s MSM should serve as the reference in encouraging all participants (individuals or parties) to declare and update existing or potential conflicts-of-interest, each time a vote takes place or consensus is sought. The ALT has discussed this point last night. The proposal is: A - that the ALAC follows the GNSO's example in requiring ALAC members and liaisons to state any changes to their SOI at the beginning of every monthly teleconference or B - The alternative is to mention at the beginning of every ALAC and ALT meeting (and hopefully RALO meetings too, although I am aware no vote takes place there) that members should keep their SOI updated. My feeling is that it would be also helpful to have a link to the SOI page included each time in this agenda item, should anyone wish to update their SOI on the spot. FYI - SOI pages are on: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+New+SOIs+Workspace We could go further and encourage any members of a working group to have an SOI --- but this would go further than the recommendation since no votes usually take place in working groups. Perhaps this could be a best practice recommendation to working group chairs? So what is your preference: A or B? Or are there any objections to both options? Kindest regards, Olivier
Thanks Olivier. I think A is a better option Saludos, León

Hi Olivier I'd prefer that for all meetings where there is voting then there should be a statement at the start of each agenda as a reminder to all about the need for SOIs to be up to date to ensure no conflict of interest, etc. This could be read out at each meeting, or taken as read. This would be mandatory for all ALAC members, RALO Chairs and Vice Chairs ... and as you suggest, extending it to Working Group Chairs would also be appropriate. Members of some working groups for example the BCEC and BMSPC which are dealing in specialist areas, should also provide SOIs Maureen On Sat, Oct 8, 2016 at 3:27 AM, León Felipe Sánchez Ambía < leonfelipe@sanchez.mx> wrote:

Hi Olivier I think I am in favour of Option A. The standard practice for all GNSO meetings is a call for anyone who should update their SOIs. The implication is that WG members have SOIs. Similarly, therefore, ALAC members and liaisons should have an SOI, so that all that is needed at a meeting, but especially if the meeting includes votes, is a call for people to update their SOIs.
