In most sane entities I've seen where there's a possible conflict of |
| 16 |
interest, people remotely suspected to be biased not only refrain from |
| 17 |
voting but also keep quiet during the whole discussion. All of this by |
| 18 |
themselves. |

I don't think we should prevent any such conflict by prohibiting people |
| 21 |
from running from council (or forcing them to resign from other |
| 22 |
duties). Self-discipline should be enough, but since you feel this is |
| 23 |
not properly applied, maybe a rule to say they should not participate |
| 24 |
to the discussion nor voting in those cases would be saner ? |
