Members are required to declare any conflict of interest which may affect prejudicially their performance as members of the board. They are also asked to declare any political activity. Members have confirmed that they see no conflicts of interest and that none is involved in political activity. During the selection process for new appointments to the bench individual members of the board withdrew from certain interviews of candidates who are well known to them.
