I should add that it should not necessarily be a real COI that should prompt the individual(s) concerned to step aside. A responsible administrator should find it within him/herself to recognise a possible public perception of a COI and take all means necessary - including resigning from one, two, or all of the perceived conflicting positions - to prevent such from happening.
