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

[Patrick Vande Walle]

For the record, as I mentioned in yesterday's call, I am opposed to
including conflict of interest rules at the selection criteria level, if
only for the fact they are highly subjective, and I see no way to
unambigeously objectify such rules. 

Like Olivier, I would welcome EURALO's input and support on this matter.
