THIEL: I believe I would. I would also have to check the work load, because it's totally different to what I'm doing now. But as long as it wouldn'tI feel that it wouldn't interfere with the work load here, I would continue to do it, but I would definitely check it at that time and see. This work that I'm doing up in Alaska is very intermittent. I can see it being maybe two or three weeks in a half a year. It's very come and go, and not really time - consuming on my part. CHAIR: So, work over a span of two or three weeks or a month or so, part -time work, after hours- THIEL: Yes, yeah. Basically, I'm trying to second -guess right now, but it could be 50 to 80 hours in an entire year. So it's weekend work, basically, work Saturday and Sunday CHAIR: So, I'll ask for your assistance on this thing, is this an informal advisory opinion that we're seeking to render, is that it? Yeah. The Chair has no problems with this whatsoever. I fail to see any possible conflict of interest here. I think we'd like to take a vote on it. Any further discussion from the Board on this? Karl, anything that, any other rendering- KK: I probably should abstain, I didn't listen to the whole discussion, but I have pretty muchI did read up on what you've written here, and I have kind of formed an opinion. Do you want me to go ahead and vote? CHAIR: Yeah, I'd like your vote. I think you're well enough informed on this, that you can cast a vote on this. So, do I hear a motion to accept a finding, a preliminary finding, a recommendation, of no conflict of interest? Is that the motion? Do I have such a motion? KI: I'll make that motion. CHAIR: Can I have a second? WJ: Second. CHAIR: Any discussions? All in favor? KI: Aye. WJ: Aye. KK: Aye.
