i don't really see this as a genuine conflict-of-interest; since the
idea of supporting local teams of any sort should be a no-brainer.  

however, having someone else fill out the paperwork doesn't actually
resolve the conflict-of-interest since you are still the ohio team
lead.  the only ethical solution is abstention; but then again, i don't
see the conflict anyway.
