Problem is that it's precisely because of the skills, background and involvement with other organisations that raises the possibility of a conflict of interest over certain matters, that they've got the potential to be really good board members or trustees with some highly relevant specialist knowledge.
Like you, I don't know that declaring an interest then not taking part in decisions affected by it is necessarily enough - but I don't think I'd have excluded them as trustees.
I've no idea if they've actually been any good while in post, but on paper they ought to have been.
