Conflicts of Interest and potentially Private Benefit / Inurement on the Drupal Association board
I would like to formally request an investigation into two members of the Drupal Association board who I believe have acted in a Conflicts-of-Interest with regards to DrupalCon Chicago. In addition I formally request the investigation of one member of the Drupal Association general assembly for the same.
I believe that these members of the Board and General Assembly have behaved in ways that not only run counter to basic morals of our community, but I believe that they have also potentially broken nonprofit tax law and have put the tax exempt status of the DA's 501(c)3 at risk.

design.drupal.org licences for design files
Drupal Design sub site will allow uploading of design files for sharing with other users. There are three main sections to the site:
- Challenges - where users contribute and collaborate on design problems for drupal.org, drupal projects, drupal core and so on.
- Assets - where users can upload and download high quality layered design files such as icons, templates, textures and so on.
- Discussion - where users can post comps for discussion, collaboration, feedback and so on.
On popular voting and merit-based selection of sessions

The practical reality, however, is this:

Read moreConflict of Interest & Code of Ethics Policies
Section V, 5 of the DrupalCon Inc's 501(c)3 Narrative form says:
See "Conflict of Interest Policy" attached separately."
...but there is no link. I assume that the application to become a Charity/Foundation wouldn't have been accepted without this vital document (also, I'm thinking that saying it's attached when it isn't is a bit bad). So, could someone update that page with the correct link?
Also, a couple of quick questions regarding the policy:
* Is it a zero tolerance policy? (i.e. if DA Board members violate it, are they removed immediately?)

One of the first thing we realized was that we didn't have any hard data on how camps were actually organized. We decided to create a survey for camp organizers to collect some data.

Adopt a Drupal Code of Conduct (#DCOC)
As our community grows, it is imperative that we preserve the what got us here. Namely, we keep Drupal a fun, welcoming, challenging, and fair place to play. IMO, we need to proactively state our shared ideals with respect to conduct. Think of this as coding standards for people :)
Our friends at Ubuntu have blazed a brilliant trail in this area. They use our CMS, and I propose that we use their Code of Conduct.
