 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.
+Any member of the TC who has

+ at item
+had a major participation in the discussion or demonstrated a partisan disposition on a disputed matter at any public venue, or
+ at item
+a material interest in the resolution of the dispute, either directly or via current or anticipated employment or consideration
+ at end itemize
+
+should be recused from participation in the TC activities related to the concerned matter.
+This recusal may be effected either directly by the TC member, or failing which, by a vote of the
+Community Committee (CC) - the TC member must not participate in any such vote. Failure by the TC member
+to reveal any such involvement as described above, if judged intentional and material by the CC, shall
+result in exclusion of said member from all FFmpeg governance bodies for a period of no less than two years.
 
 The decision to use a RFC process or an internal discussion is a discretionary decision of the TC.
