Each conference member should be encouraged to tell the conference commissioner or president when they are talking with another conference, this as a courtesy for everyone. It is not uncommon for schools to be in full-fledged talks before the conference is notified, it should be a priority to notify your conference before that happens. This will help to avoid issues for everyone.
NOTE TO COMMISSIONERS - If you are talking to schools from another conference about membership, as a common courtesy you should keep the Commissioner of that conference regularly updated. This should happen anytime you have a meeting with that school or after a conference meeting discussing expansion.
