This isn't exactly true. A conflict of interest arises anytime someone is put in a decision making position and have competing interests with respect to the decision. Put differently, a conflict of interest arises anytime a person making a decision appears to be unable to make the decision objectively. In the interest of full disclosure, I am of the opinion that no person should be permitted to be a counselor and ComRel member at the same time. Even if they recuse themselves during appeals, it's one less voting counselor the appeal would otherwise have if the the recused was not a counselor in the first place. -Nicholas Vinson >=20 > As I mentioned, I believe this is a minority opinion around here. > That's ok, even if you're all wrong I can still follow the policy, and > it is a bit moot in my case since I'm not in Comrel... :) >=20 --uFsPwrRcEniTALDWpIMxf1s0aDeuheDKb-- --jfmnACvUpWQeLVIhof69VTWx3f81tiESH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJX9x+BAAoJEAQpRPZaa5gqHB4QAJ5tKAnKzV0J90Ztusg9wIcn m94ns55CsKT+IUtUyVwKrnC5VFbrOpCur+OrbMgXoEI1Sa8NkDV/8Ef7bANmSVit y3DfES1vzPy7f3dX6XHiCoD2BO44TV8BW0svnVzWir12gDQpa0w2GKO9c/Obgitb wBg8txKgimsAhIy3pL9JenPvfvUZzMw06yxl+rsRRowG/C5F/7O4YOH8MaikrECv 2BzgkNU9Oca/wCcSf0Cz3/YGJiQHYYEQVpROblSiIsBWMRk+E2THUWmFcYrdpUsv S5VWvbH0llOCoN87fgMX+k9IblqGZM4FgJ1sAuuPlpfMWB2P/27F467yyw5vCaWl jD/LsQxqXRyHhKnA6RMGMogHAiEvoKNroIwyRm40vm836KGcGSnxLVj82Hh9qhkr IH/IwosWh/ZC2G4aKdTgYAMlOKn9N9DvaSWjlgJZQL4uaRVwioq1QTk+1SJ/bZGH TQ0r1T8UnSVjuiqtzgMpXsX+EXNmDEtAikmmPsqiFKoRRHL0uJKPy3tZ912VHn4C Ctjj/oNhCe6JxhytOjnq5L1ROJLpu84Cf2GP5h76+AYQTvPa1vZTBWGqy6D8Oo3V WlXEBLn9UQhtVesHijGM1yntkaOXKYaBbo5AWrZVHcjZ25QEjrtNHWM9cKZ+up+4 Kz5POa/U5Zr+TOks9rmf =8NYR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jfmnACvUpWQeLVIhof69VTWx3f81tiESH--
