I was approached 30th of  october. I informed the board the following 
day, as it seemed to me  mandatorily that they be informed as soon as 
possible, given the potential  risks of conflict of interest.
I was in favor of asking him to resign at  that point, but some perceived 
unfair to have him resign with lack of  certainty over visa obtention.

Erik was immediately removed from the ED evaluation  committee by its 
chair (Jan-Bart) after I informed the board. Erik has not  yet been 
officially replaced on this committee.

I asked Erik to  recuse himself on some resolutions, such as the 
Executive Director  one.

Erik went on being chair of the treasurer search committee until  his 
resignation from the board. Soon before his resignation, he (not the  
committee) submitted a recommandation with regards to the search to the  
entire board. Since then, the treasurer search committee is made of only  
two people, with the support of Mona. I have made a follow up on the new  
candidates just before Christmas. Otherwise, issue is  pending.
