Ted, Ray,

9.      Members shall at all times act in a disinterested manner and consider
only the benefit to the IETF standards process and community as a whole in
discussions and decisions. The Members shall promptly disclose any
material conflict of interest and recuse themselves from related
decisions.

    

While I grok what you mean by "act in a disinterested manner" it sounds a
bit if you'd like them to cultivate ennui.  Perhaps "In the discharge of their
duties, member shall at all times act only in the interests of the
IETF community.
Members shall promptly disclose any material conflict of interest, and they
will recuse themselves from decisions where such conflict is present."
  

I had the same reaction as Ted, and I also see that Sam had concerns on this part. I like Ted's formulation.
