I missed those.
"(b) a signed statement in which
he/she declares that he/she shall
adhere to the Code of Conduct for
candidates for the Executive Board
as adopted by the Executive Board
and published on the Association’s
website, and that he/she has never
committed any fraud or other
financial misconduct in any
jurisdiction"
This is extremely broad. It also opens the possibility that RIPE NCC has to become an arbiter wether or not a certain action of a nominee constitutes fraud (with all the possible liabilities for RIPE NCC in civil court). Legally it would be preferable to just focus on 'outcomes': has there been any verdict against a nominee. Court cases can be won by nominees ..
Is the wording deliberate (ie as broad as possible) Ifso have you thought about the above scenario ?

The report states:
7. Other requirements of nominees Recommendation It was agreed that the candidates must agree to follow the code of conduct at all times (see point 6 above).
The nominee should also sign a statement certifying that they have not committed fraud or other financial misconduct in any jurisdiction. This requirement should be added to the Articles of Association.
This is very broad as it pertains to behaviour. Normally this is stated as "not being convicted for fraud or other financial misconduct in any jurisdiction".
So in order to know what we are voting on tomorrow, can the Board show us the exact textual changes we are voting on?
