Andreas actually didn't define what a CoI is, laws and

Hi Paolo,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So that I can understand correctly, and as an
outside party, are you alleging there *was* a conflict of
interest in the actions taken by members of the Board?</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
I'm not all alleging anything at all.<br>
<br>
I've simply described an hypothetical situation and reported an
article I've recently read reporting the changes happening in the US
market where having directors shared with multiple organisation with
different interests seemed to be the norm.<br>
<br>
There have been long, and still ongoing, discussions where different
points of view have been shared and I've simply shared mine.<br>
<br>
Being the president of a non profit association I know what rules I
have to apply where I live but other countries might have slightly
different rules.<br>
