 If the TC thinks it needs the input from the larger community, the TC can call for a RFC. Else, it can decide by itself.
 
-If the disagreement involves a member of the TC, that member should recuse themselves from the decision.
-
 The decision to use a RFC process or an internal discussion is a discretionary decision of the TC.
 
 The TC can also reject a seizure for a few reasons such as: the matter was not discussed enough previously; it lacks expertise to reach a beneficial decision on the matter; or the matter is too trivial.

 Internally, the TC should take decisions with a majority, or using ranked-choice voting.
 
+Each TC member must vote on such decision according to what is, in their view, best for the project.
+
+If a TC member feels they are affected by a conflict of interest with regards to the case, they should announce it and recuse themselves from the TC
+discussion and vote.

+A conflict of interest is presumed to occur when a TC member has a personal interest (e.g. financial) in a specific outcome of the case.
+
 The decision from the TC should be published with a summary of the reasons that lead to this decision.
 
 The decisions from the TC are final, until the matters are reopened after no less than one year.
