Talk:Volunteer Conflict of Interest Policy

Please feel free to comment.Jon Davies (WMUK) (talk) 10:44, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

I feel confused

I would be grateful if someone could help me in my confusion. I have discovered three four active COI pages (which I have added to a COI Category):

1. Draft volunteer Conflict of Interest Policy (this one) started 5th December 2012
2. Principles for WiR and Volunteer Conflicts of Interest policy started in User:The Land's user space on 14th November 2012 and moved to its present site on 24th November 2012
3. Conflicts of interest policy/2012 redraft, started 21st July 2012
4. Conflict of Interest Policy/Proposal November 2012 started 17 October 2012

Specifically, my questions are:

1. Are there any other relevant pages which I have missed?
2. It would appear from the history of Conflict of Interest Policy, that this was amended at the November Meeting, even though the header states they were adopted on 1 September 2009. Could some one check and alter the document so it's clearer to understand.

I must admit I find the whole situation completely confusing, and feel reluctant to make any further contributions to any of the discussions until things have been clarified.Leutha (talk) 18:41, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Leutha;

• This page is a draft from Jon which will be developed into something the Board considers.
• Principles for WiR and Volunteer Conflicts of Interest policy is a set of principles written by me and (largely) adopted by the Board as the direction of travel.
• The other two conflict of interest policy redrafts/proposals are separate, have not been agreed, and I believe are not current proposals.
• Thanks for the point about the status of Conflict of Interest Policy, I have clarified in the header that an amendment was made.

Hope this helps, and look forward to your contributions! Regards, The Land (talk) 18:59, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for that, it's very helpful.Leutha (talk) 20:31, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
