How about if they just abstain from any votes where there may be a conflict of interest? I would hate to limit the ability of people to contribute technically just because they were elected to council.

Hi all,

The council can't make this change since it is a glep 39 change, so I am
bringing it to the community for discussion -- I assume there would need
to be a full dev vote to make it happen.

I feel that council members should not be members of projects whose
actions can be appealed to the council like qa or comrel. I have felt
this way for a long time, because I think it compromises the full
council's ability to vote fairly on appeals.

As a member of the council who would be affected by this, if it passes
and I run and am elected to council again, I would have no problem with
stepping down from QA.

Attached is a patch for glep 39 which will make this change.

Thoughts?
