Lets take a look at "the line" "If the disagreement involves a member of the TC, that member should recuse themselves from the decision." There are 3 obvious choices here: 1: (unchanged) "If the disagreement involves a member of the TC, that member should recuse themselves from the decision." 2: (must) "If the disagreement involves a member of the TC, that member must recuse themselves from the decision." 3: (remove it) "" Thats what the vote should be about IMO. Then seperately, theres the question about the (unrelated) text you want to add That too has 3 choices 1. (unchanged) "" 2. (should) "conflict of interest ... they should announce it and recuse themselves ..." 3. (must) "conflict of interest ... they must announce it and recuse themselves ..." Thats what a 2nd independant vote should be _IF_ we dont already have a unanimous agreement about this. Now honestly why this uses a "should" after apparently this very dissussion here showed that "should" is interpreted differently by different people, i dont know. I mean either we want people to recuse themselves or we dont if specific circumstances apply. It cannot be in the per persons free choice if they recuse themselves in a conflict of interrest. This just makes no sense. ... Ohh i have a financial interrest in the outcome, i dont have to recuse myself, i only "should" ahh ok ... The "Each TC member must vote on such decision according to what is, in their view, best for the project." I suspect you can just propose adding this and without any vote. There may be unanimous agreement for this Thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know. -- Epicurus
