we tend to have multiple well-tyists or tweagers on the committee, and
so far we mostly worked under the assumption that committee members
manage to do their committee work unencumbered by their jobs. So unless
you, say, personally tasked someone with writing that proposal, or
genuinely (and not just formally) _feel_ conflicted, I’d say don’t
worry. We are all just trying to make GHC better, not govern a country
or something like that :)

That’s my take at least.

Cheers,
Joachim
