Following on from my previous comment, I think it would be better to
focus on avoiding *actual* conflicts of interest. I think worrying
about appearances is what happens when there is a lack of understanding
of the substance and, in the case of managing a useful and
productive collaboration between the community and
NCC-as-secretariat,the substance seems important.
If the goal is to avoid a need for understanding, then it seems like the
natural solution is that NCC staff should never be allowed to
participate as members of the community at all. I don't think that is
necessary or desirable.
If we had a perfect world then I'd agree with you. However I've been in
this business long enough to know that if there is a faintest chance of
a possible thought of a conflict then someone will complain.
However, I'm not part of this community any longer in any real sense,
and if people think this isn't important then go for it.
