General exceptions

Exceptions to the general rule include activities that are adequately covered by signed confidentiality, engagement and other contract agreements, and which comply with them.

These activities should ordinarily be considered permissible, for example:

• earnings from seminars, lectures, or conference engagements sponsored by public or not-for-profit entities;

• income from service on advisory committees or review panels for public or not-for-profit entities;

• service on boards and committees of organisations, public or private, that do not distract unduly from PPP project obligations;

• membership of other organisations where there is no possible benefit or perception of benefit;

• normal working associations with colleagues;

• casual acquaintanceship with members of other organisations; and

• casual meetings with members of other organisations through

ordinary networking and business conduct;

informal social functions and events; and

common memberships of clubs, associations and sporting facilities.
