                    The whole

                      (potential?)

                      Conflict of Interest (CoI) on just this topic.

                      
                    This is just
                      another way of attempting to exclude everybody you
                      disagree with.
                    

                    The way you
                      define COI, everybody involved with LibreOiffce
                      has a conflict of interest, so nobody should be
                      commenting.
                    

              Andreas actually didn't define what a CoI is, laws and
              regulations do.

              
      Hi Paolo, 
      

      So that I can understand correctly, and as an
        outside party, are you alleging there *was* a conflict of
        interest in the actions taken by members of the Board?
    
    
    I'm not all alleging anything at all.

    
    I've simply described an hypothetical situation and reported an
    article I've recently read reporting the changes happening in the US
    market where having directors shared with multiple organisation with
    different interests seemed to be the norm.

    
    There have been long, and still ongoing, discussions where different
    points of view have been shared and I've simply shared mine.

    
    Being the president of a non profit association I know what rules I
    have to apply where I live but other countries might have slightly
    different rules.

    
      Chris
