See also ML’s posts about Conflicts of Interest and how to manage them. Her perspective sounds spot-on, to me. Conflicts of Interest are not evidence of impropriety, and they are not something that can or should be stamped out. In fact, they are sometimes good! The best people often engage with multiple other people or organizations. And so-called “Conflicts of Interest” are often actually “Alignments of Interest” that help keep everyone involved on the right track. The most important way to manage CoI is disclosure, and having the oversight of the other MGRC members over any CoI’s. ZIP-1014 already requires that.
