<p>The Board's conflict of interest policy is posted to the OSMF
website at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Conflict_of_Interest_Policy">https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Conflict_of_Interest_Policy</a></p>
<p>The register of directors' interests is embodied in the
biographies of Board members at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board_Member_Bios">https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board_Member_Bios</a>. The policy
stipulates, "Board Members should keep their biographies up to
date, including any relevant positions or relationships."<br>

<div dir="auto">Is there a conflict of interest policy for the
board itself? Excuse me if this is common knowledge that
I've missed. It seems even more important there, since,
between elections, the board is more or less all-powerful.</div>

</div>
<div>And is there a register of directors' interests? This
used to be required in all UK companies until relatively
recently; it's good practice imo to continue it even tho not
a legal requirement, especially in a company like the
Foundation that seeks to serve public, not private
interests.</div>

all,<br>
<br>
the OSMF board has decided to install a default Conflict of
Interest<br>
policy for working groups, committees, special committees and
similar<br>
foundation bodies:<br>
<br>
<a
href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Working_Group_Conflict_of_Interest_Policy"

<br>
For groups which already have a CoI policy (I believe this
includes at<br>
least DWG and CWG), this doesn't change anything.<br>
<br>
For other groups, please make a decision if you want to use
this new<br>
default CoI or replace it with rules that work better for your
group. Do<br>
let us know if you choose to implement different rules. Under
the<br>
default, please update your member lists on the OSMF wiki by
including<br>
any OSM-relevant affiliations. If other rules are implemented,
please<br>
add the info on the OSMF wiki for your group.<br>
