    I think it’s overkill.  And it runs the risk of turning away people who might be good on the committee.  I think it would put me off (I’ve been a member of OC/BCs for 38 years in NSW, ACT, VIC and overseas, mostly as a committee member or chairperson).

    FWIW, here are the Victorian requirements:

     

    117 Duties of committees and sub-committees
    A member of a committee or sub-committee of an owners corporation—
    (a) must act honestly and in good faith in the performance of his or her functions; and
    (b) must exercise due care and diligence in the performance of his or her functions; and
    (c) must not make improper use of his or her position as a member to gain, directly or indirectly, an advantage for himself or herself or for any other person.

     

    So fairly simple and broad.  It’s up to a tribunal to interpret and enforce it. Which would be the case with a more complicated by-law/rule as well.
