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
