At present, there is nothing in either the Act or the Bylaws about conflict of interest for Directors. (There is something in the Act about conflict of interest for an auditor.) I think that recusal from voting is important enough to be entrenched in the bylaws. Recusal from participation in discussion is often a good idea, but it’s easy to imagine cases where it would not be a good idea (for example, the conflicted director may be able to answer questions from other directors), so I am not proposing to add that to the bylaws.
