Conflict of Interest
Part of the ASF Governance & Policy Manual.
This entry indexes ASF’s Conflict-of-Interest Policy for the Governance & Policy Manual; the full policy, declaration requirements, and severity-review process are published in Section 03 of Standards Development, grounded in the Guidelines International Network (GIN) Principles and WHO’s declaration and severity-review practice.
The same declaration is required of Council and Panel members (standards decisions), and of Coordinator and Monitor candidates under ASF-MON-STD-v1 Standard A3/C3 (accreditation decisions) — one policy, applied consistently across both functions.
