“Annually, each interested person signs a statement which affirms that they have received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, has read and understands it, and has agreed to comply with it. An interested person discloses orally or in writing all material facts related to an actual or potential conflict of interest to directors and/or members of committees considering a proposed contract or transaction to which the conflict of interest relates. Until a conflict of interest has been voted upon by the board or a committee in accordance with this policy, an interested person refrains from any action that might affect irri 's participation in any contract or transaction affected by a conflict of interest. After disclosure of the conflict of interest and all material facts, and after the interested person responds to any questions that the board or committee have regarding the conflict of interest, the interested person leaves the board or committee meeting while the conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy. An interested person may not vote on the contract or transaction to which the conflict of interest relates, but may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum for purposes of the vote. The board determines by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether a conflict of interest exists and, if so, whether irri should nonetheless enter into the contract or transaction because it is in irri's best interest. If appropriate, the executive director appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to a proposed contract or transaction. The minutes of the board must reflect: (a) that the conflict of interest was disclosed, (b) the board decision regarding the conflict of interest, including a statement that the interested person was not present during the final discussion and vote, and (c) that the interested person abstained from voting.”
