[arin-ppml] AC candidates

[Chris Woodfield]

The concern, as I see it, is not whether or not a candidate has potential conflicts of interest - you are correct that it would be extremely difficult to find candidates that do not. The question for me is, can a given candidate be trusted to properly separate their personal business interests from the interests of the community, and recuse themselves a given deliberation when there’s no other way to remove the appearance of such a conflict of interest?
