It should take a solid commitment to change FlyerTalk.
If abstaining is the same as voting no, what exactly is someone in a conflict of interest supposed to do?
Every single board I sit on (or have audited, for that matter) has a rule that members in a conflict of interest must abstain; they do vary on whether or not a conflicted member may participate in the discussion leading up to the vote.
