Addressing conflict of interest scenarios during voting #49

Open camerons opened 4 years ago

In our community Decisions v2.0 process, we don't have a clause noting that people with a conflict of interest should state their conflict of interest, and excuse themselves from casting a binding vote.

This was noticed when considering inviting someone to the PSC who was also about to get paid for work on our project.

Considering that the people that the people who are both competent and deserving of payment will likely be on the PSC, we should have a process which can cater for this scenario.

"Considering that the people who are both competent and deserving of payment will likely be on the PSC, we should have a process which can cater for this scenario." - I agree to this. The process should ideally allow for deserving individuals to be on the Project Steering Committee, and the case of a possible Conflict of Interest in voting can be addressed by adding an appropriate clause to the Decisions process, as Cameron has suggested.
