Just belonging to an organization does not require recusal. Board member brings a proposal for consideration for Board approval that could affect activity being performed under a DOE contract. We assumed that the member works for the contractor. In that case there should be immediate disclosure and probable recusal. Board member works for a subcontractor that may submit a future proposal on one of the alternatives being considered in a proposed plan under review.
Disclosure is recommended, with possible recusal at some future time.
Board member was involved in preparation of a report under review but identifies his contributions. Board member is being compensated by his employer for his participation in Board activities. On the surface it seems that this is not a conflict, but additional consideration may be required. Board member has an association with any party to be affected by Board action that is not known. Broad disclosure of associations is required.
