Yeah and I disclosed that While saying "These don't really qualify as a conflict of interest, because the interest aligns with the larger community, but these should be mentioned regardless:" (downplaying it) | 01:01:21 |
| infinisil | nyanbinary: I mean, yeah that's what it just is. My interest is making this entire thing work out, that's why I spent so of my time on it the past weeks, there's no conflict in there. Or did I misunderstand what a conflict of interest is? | 01:05:06 |
| infinisil | Anyways, need to go to sleep. If anybody has serious concerns about my application it's probably best to reach out to the board directly for that, as mentioned in https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-constitutional-assembly-applications-open/45186 | 01:08:23 |

Or did I misunderstand what a conflict of interest is? You have misunderstood: the conflict is that the board members have reason to select you over others due to their preexisting personal knowledge and relationship rather than your own personal merit. Your statement of using board members as vouches specifically implies that link is strong enough that it will influence opinion | 01:38:46 |

Or did I misunderstand what a conflict of interest is? You were directly involved in designing the assembly and the application processes which makes this concerning. It's a bit like if a politician would go and say hey we need someone to do service X and then applied with a company owned by their spouse. | 07:38:27 |
