There is definitely a confusion beause that is not what it says or
what it means. We have interpreted "directly involved in the policy
development process" at ICANN to be what the ICANN bylaws say: the
ICANN board and the policy development organizations ccNSO and GNSO.

Olga has been on the GAC and I've been on the SSAC, neither of which
presents a problem under our CoI policy.

PS: As I would have thought you were aware, we developed the current
CoI policy two years ago at our 2018 board retreat in Uruguay. The
change earlier this year was just a minor twiddle to clarify the
difference between board and staff officers.
