(1) If any of the following applies to a member of the Committee, he or she shall be excluded from deliberation and resolution on the relevant agenda item to ensure the impartiality in his or her duties:
1. If a member or a corporation or organization to which the member belongs has a direct interest in the relevant agenda item;
2. If a member's family member (referring to any of the family members as defined in Article 779 of the Civil Act) is an interested party.
(2) A party to an agenda item subject to deliberation (including its executive officers and employees if the party is a corporation or organization) may file a request for challenge to a member with the Committee if the circumstances indicate that it would be impractical to expect the member to perform their duties impartially, and the Committee shall make a decision to challenge by resolution if it recognizes that the request for challenge is valid.
(3) If the ground under paragraph (1) or (2) applies to a member, he or she shall recuse himself or herself from the deliberation on the relevant agenda item.
