Unfortunately, Bill Gletsos does have an interest in the Parramatta bid. Let me quote from the publically posted Parramatta bid.
"Tournament committee
Shane Burgess, Tarun Pant and Bill Gletsos."
Hence, the COI is factual.
Then you have the question of whether people with an ACF hat, who also wear a state hat ... Might be completely unworkable to try to avoid that.
Exactly right. Unworkable. The ACF it is must be abandonned. If Australian chess is to avoid the risk of extinction, anew peak body must TAKE the power.
