Has there been a discussion of the definition of "political" here or how it would be differentiated from "ideological"? Is this based on an assumption that a knowledge-gathering project can be achieved without any "bias" ("knowledge is neutral")? What if "furthering the interest of WMIN" came in conflict with furthering the interests of the larger movement? Is there an "Ignore-All-Rules"-style clause?
2) The document notes that (c) voting is a situation that comes under "conflict of interest". What about the situation after voting - ie - there is a voter-expectation that leads to specific "Covered Persons" to come into a position of power and that there could be a conflict when favouring specific voting member(s).
3) The document does not suggest measures to reduce the effects of undetected (or undetectable) conflict of interest by such means as transparency of deliberations. Or if the organization does not wish to show extreme transparency, is there a system for supporting whistleblowers?
