I agree with Stephen and others.  We could probably just add
something in the BCP saying that the IAOC should define and publish
an appropriate conflict of interest policy and leave it up to them.

Can you think of any policy that would not be "appropriate"?  I thought
so. If so then surely (I mean, Margaret) we can give them a sense of what
would be considered appropriate up front?

Margaret's first off-the-cuff suggestion is an example of what I'd consider "not appropriate". I'm sure I can come up with something else that looks reasonable on the surface, but has a corner case I haven't thought of.

We're appointing sensible people to the IAOC (and if they're not, the quicker we realize and get rid of them, the better).... so I still think we don't need to do more micromanagement than saying "The IAOC will establish and publish rules to handle conflict of interest situations".
