You are right that the wording of the statement "that he/she has never committed any fraud or other financial misconduct in any jurisdiction" is very broad. This was deliberately done.
In principle, RIPE NCC will assume the correctness of the statements provided by the nominees. Therefore, RIPE NCC will not become an arbiter whether or not a certain action of a nominee constitutes fraud.
Then, why have this statement at all? *Who*, if anyone, determines whether a nominee (or elected board member) has committed fraud or misconduct and therefore has lied on their nomination? And what are the consequences of that? Similarly, the nominee has to declare "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," Who determines that non-adherence has occurred and what are the consequences? I don't think anyone should vote in favour of these amendments until and unless these concerns are clarified. rgds, Sascha Luck
