Aligne with the ida if the Board member that will do the final decision fro any issue related to any gTLD can go out of the room and no not comment or vote due this particular COI, I believe the rule shall apply to all in the gArg.
What appears to be the broader consensus view, with which I agree, is that someone who is directly conflicted in one application is indirectly conflicted in others during the same round. Therefore they should not be in the evaluation group at all; being "out of the room" for only the direct conflict is insufficient. Given that we have so many fully un-conflicted potential participants this should not be a hard rule to uphold.
