his personal or private interest;
(2) The effect of his participation on public confidence in the integrity of the executive
branch;
(3) Whether his participation is likely to have any significant effect on the disposition
of the matter;
(4) The need for his particular contribution, such as special knowledge of the subject
matter, to the effective functioning of the executive branch; or
