[EURO-Discuss] about the At-Large Board Selection Design Team

[Wolf Ludwig]

I tend to agree what Adam said before, if their are guidelines and rules 
for potential conflicts of interest already, apply/adopt them but don't 
make it more difficult - or exclusive and restrictive. And it makes sense 
what Patrick said, NOT to include conflict of interest rules at the selection 
criteria level ... Deal with problems where they may be of relevance.

Best,
Wolf
