Harry I loved your idea of putting the conflicts into a simple post that can be updated/changed without fear of mucking up the election wiki page. If anyone identifies other conflicts that I haven't noticed please feel free to point them out.
As promised I've written my conflicts up. https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/dkunce/diary/34550 One key thing to my running for the Board is that American Red Cross is ok with me serving on the HOT board given that I don't participate in any financial discussions with HOT that are not already in place such as Missing Maps.
