The Nominees' Profile, Motivation and Intended Contribution to FIP (in not more than 250 words)

I agree that the person has no conflict of interest. A person has a conflict of interest if in a relationship with another party outside of FIP with whom FIP also has an existing or may have a future relationship, and that person has an interest in the other party which may interfere with proper judgement. The existence of a conflict of interest is not a reason not to be considered for nomination. The nominee accepts to go forward to the General Assembly for election for the position nominated.
