A COVERED OFFICIAL WHOSE POTENTIAL CONFLICT IS UNDER REVIEW MAY NOT DEBATE, VOTE, OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN SUCH DETERMINATION. IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES THAT AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST DOES EXIST, THE BOARD SHALL ALSO DETERMINE AN APPROPRIATE REMEDY. SUCH REMEDY MAY INCLUDE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE RECUSAL OF THE CONFLICTED COVERED OFFICIAL FROM PARTICIPATING IN CERTAIN MATTERS PENDING BEFORE THE BOARD OR OTHER USTELECOM BODY.
