According to
the UK Charity Commission we are in the case where Ilario " has had no significant
involvement with the trustees’ decision to create or retain the post, or with any material
aspect of the recruitment process"
It isn't written very clearly, but from context I am confident that
those bullet points are intended to be an "and" not an "or".
Nevertheless, voting on the plan which included creating these posts
is "significant involvement".
By this logic, we should exclude all members (a rule I voted for in some
other cases, but not necessarily appropriate here). There are several
possible issues and countermeasures here but yours doesn't seem the most
relevant to me.
Resigning before a decision in COI is rarely an effective measure.
Resigning with smart timing can easily be a more subtle and effective
way to gain an advantage over someone else.
Or how about a board member directly discussing and approving a
process/framework for hiring an ED and then applying for said ED position?
