:Let me rephrase this. My problem is not in whether or not a board member should be on the chapcom with voting rights, I agree they probably shoulnd't, as Lodewijk pointed out, advising yourself is kind of weird. But '''''conflict of interest''''' is a very strong word to use in that context. So I'm interested what you think might be the ''benefit'' or ''interest'' a board member would get if they were on the chapcom.

::Yes, your right. Calling it a "conflict of interest" may be overstating the situation. I used it for lack of a better word. My only concern was in the part where Lodewijk would be advising himself. [[User:Abbasjnr|Abbasjnr]] 09:17, 1 June 2011 (UTC) |

Conflict of interest
Hi Abbas. I have to ask. How can a position in chapcom construed as being of "conflict of interest" with being a board member? You've baffled me here. notafish }<';> 13:48, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
- Let me rephrase this. My problem is not in whether or not a board member should be on the chapcom with voting rights, I agree they probably shoulnd't, as Lodewijk pointed out, advising yourself is kind of weird. But conflict of interest is a very strong word to use in that context. So I'm interested what you think might be the benefit or interest a board member would get if they were on the chapcom. notafish }<';> 20:33, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, your right. Calling it a "conflict of interest" may be overstating the situation. I used it for lack of a better word. My only concern was in the part where Lodewijk would be advising himself. Abbasjnr 09:17, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
