What I think the main Conflict of interest area that Adam and others are
talking about is the fact that the board must vote on the proposals for new
registrars.

I would suspect that at least one or maybe two or more of the Directors
would like one of their companies to become a DNS registrar, am I way off
here?, let me know if the board members and or companies they are involved
with will be expressly excluded from the DNS Registrar role.

I firmly believe all involved with the current board can and do act in a
totally professional way with the interests of ADNA in mind. However that
said I do have concerns about board members voting on registrars when they
themselves may have a vested interest.

The way to overcome this is to exclude any and all companies they have any
involvement with from the process of DNS registrar.

This may be easier said than done as we know it is possible to become a
director of an entity at any given point in that entities life without any
trouble, as it is easy to become a shareholder.

Some more questions I have for the board are:-

1.    Will MebIT automatically be given a role as DNS registrar?
2.    How many registrars are proposed for .AU

A comment I have in regard to the ADNA meetings.

All meetings of ADNA should be open to the public at ALL times, or at least
if someone wants to attend they should submit a request and the board would
either grant or decline that request based on the requests merits.
