If it were a case of enabling people to work with an OKF hat where
they are willing, then I think it could be useful to develop a policy.
But I would not personally support coercing people involved with OKF
to do consultancy related to OKF issues with an OKF hat wherever
possible, unless I heard strong arguments why this is a good idea.
