Re: Proposed IETF Trust Conflict of Interest Policy for Community Review

Hello,
At 10:52 29-03-2016, The IETF Trust wrote:
The trustees of a legal trust entity, such as the IETF Trust, should
be subject to a conflict of interest policy.  Accordingly, the
Trustees are considering this policy for adoption.

Section 7.2 of the Trust Agreement is as follows:

  "Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement all decisions of the
   Trustees must be approved by majority vote of the Trustees then in
   office."

Part V of the proposed policy states that: "If the Trustees decide by unanimous vote of the Trustees then in office (other than the Trustee in question)" ...

There seems to be a mismatch in the above.

  "The Trustees shall report any such determination to the IAOC for
   potential action."

I suggest that the report be sent to the IETF Community to be aligned with BCP 101. The Trustees would already be taking action if they were to prevent an Eligible Person from participating in Trust activities.
