A new ISU Communication on conflict of interest has appeared on the ISU web site (#1481). It reads a little oddly. Like something else is going on beyond what it says.
It would seem the ISU has gotten a bunch of proposals for the 2008 Congress asking that examples of conflict of interest be better defined in the rules. Reading between the lines I am guessing there are some federations out there who feel there have been conflicts of interest that have not being addressed under the current rules.
The ISU Council responded with this communication which says the current rules are adequate and then give 2 pages of examples of conflicts of interest. Also odd, these examples do not address potential conflicts of interest on the Technical Panels, which is the thing a lot of people worry about.
Anybody know anything about what is going on with this? Maybe some of our European posters?
I have also heard a rumor that disciplinary action is being considered for the dance event at the JGP Final.
