(a) A Participant's representative on the ALT, the AMT or the APT (as the case may be) must fully disclose to an ALT meeting, an AMT meeting or an APT meeting (as the case may be), any conflicting interest or duty, or potential conflict of interest or duty, the representative may have (whether personally or as a representative) before participating in a discussion on any relevant issue or making a decision about that issue. A representative who has made full disclosure may fully participate in any discussion and decision, even though the representative has or may have a conflicting interest or duty.
(b) For the purposes of clause 6.8(a), a conflict of interest will include any corporate or other objective or affiliations of a Participant that could reasonably be considered to have an adverse impact on the achievement of either or both of the Project Owner's VFM Statement or the Alliance Objectives. A conflict of interest is not created merely by the fact that a representative is an appointee and/or an employee of a Participant.
