As a general guideline, it is best that ombuds avoid conflicts of interest as much as possible, particularly by avoiding routine use of CheckUser or oversight access and not processing complaints on the projects on which they are very active editors. However, matters that come before the commission are not clear-cut, and the language and culture of various projects may pose barriers to outsiders. As such, how the commission investigates complaints is left to the discretion of its appointed members. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Membership" data-mw-thread-id="h-Membership"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Membership"></span>Membership<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Membership"></span></h2></div> <p>Members of the ombuds commission are selected from the Wikimedia community by Wikimedia Foundation officials.
