[Osmf-talk] Board meeting/closed session

[Peter Barth]

Hi Christoph,

re your point 1+2: I think the main reason for that is or was, that
based on the original inquiry we didn't know what they exactly want from
us. So the idea was to move it to the end to a closed session so we can
openly discuss or talk about the motives without disclosing the name
(yet).

As there remained questions, the only outcome of that discussion was:
We'll get back to the potential donor and try to clarify before any
further discussions.

Re COI: Only Frederik refrained completely. But as there had been no
real discussion but only questions, it might be too early to judge if
there is a COI for others or not. Except you'd argue there's a general
COI for any kind of (corporate) donations.

On a general note: I personally find this COI topic quite difficult and
it still needs a lot more discussion. But from what I've seen so far (at
board but also in private chats) is, that there are very different
opinions as to what a COI is and how to handle it.

Hope that counts as a satisfying reply even if quite vague :-)
