Thank you for your perspective on TC responsibilities within the FFmpeg
project. While I value your insights, I'd like to offer a different
viewpoint regarding the practice of recusing oneself from discussions.

It's essential to recognize that each TC member holds a duty to actively
participate in discussions and decision-making processes. Recusing oneself
from discussions should be a rare occurrence reserved for situations where
a clear conflict of interest exists, rather than a default response to
certain topics.

Serving on the TC requires a commitment to thoroughly examine proposed
changes and contribute to informed decision-making. It's through active
engagement and thoughtful consideration of all viewpoints that we can
ensure the best outcomes for the project.

While I understand the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest, it's
equally vital for TC members to fulfill their responsibility to the project
by actively engaging in discussions and providing valuable insights.

In conclusion, let's uphold the principle of active participation and
responsibility in TC discussions to maintain the integrity and
effectiveness of our governance processes within the FFmpeg project.
