I'm not sure if we have explicit guidelines regarding conflicts of 
interest (should we?), but I think I should declare a conflict in this 
case. The authors of this proposal work for Well-Typed and have proposed 
and implemented this feature on behalf of a client, which might give the 
impression of potential bias.

I am happy to take the advice of the committee on how to handle this 
situation. While I don't think I need to recuse myself from discussion 
of the proposal completely, it seems like it would be better for it to 
be shepherded by someone else?

Cheers,

Adam
