The source directly confirms both key elements of the claim: (1) Zico Kolter (SSC Chair) serves as a non-voting observer at PBC (OpenAI Group PBC) board meetings, and (2) Kolter sits exclusively on the Foundation board, not the PBC board. The source explicitly states 'Dr. Kolter, who will serve as a non-voting observer' to the Group board and 'will serve exclusively on the OpenAI Foundation board.' The additional context about 'non-voting observer' vs 'full observation rights' is also addressed—the source uses the exact term 'non-voting observer,' which is more restrictive than full observation rights.
