Oh how I would have wished for endless discussions BEFORE making  
authoritarian decisions.

It is an "OVERSIGHT" board!

That's why you need your terms of reference, to stop you acting like a  
government, you were not elected to govern but to oversee.

You previously endorsed a release team to make governing decisions  
about the release. Putting the board in competition with the release  
team was a very dumb idea. Making decisions about the release without  
considering the release team or using the media chosen by the release  
team was also a bad idea.

There were considered reasons why the release team was working the way  
it was, and you decided to ignore them all because you apparently  
"knew better". What utter arrogance.
