Olivier, Patrick: Thanks for the information about the design team's work on yesterday's call. Seems the team is getting into a mess. ICANN has are rules about conflict of interest that have served the organization pretty well. There are voting and non-voting board members (always have been) with interests in registries/registrars, people who consult on domain name business. A broad statement to guide the BCEC should be enough, don't tie it's hands. Hope EURALO agrees new restrictions are unnecessary and we can quickly give you some support to get the team's work finished with a minimal set of sensible rules. Thanks, Adam
