[Chapter-delegates] ISOC LIVE - the reports of its death are exaggerated, but..

[Nazar Nicholas]

Dear Andrew,

"I naturally try to keep the board informed abou*t potentially difficult or
community-affecting decisions*, and I did so in this case.  I believe I
communicated to the board, as I did elsewhere in this thread to this list,
the reasons for the decision, and while several trustees expressed chagrin
that the decision had to go the way it did I do not recall anyone seriously
suggesting that another path ought to be taken"

Does the BOT have the teeth to check the CEO before he/she makes potentially
difficult or community-affecting decisions? What if one day ISOC gets a CEO
who does not care about the Internet and does not care about the ISOC
community? Should the CEO and staff be left to make decisions that
potentially break the back of ISOC as we know it without checks and
balances?
