First, the resolution and its context. "Supervising" the ED is indeed a board duty, but this supervision must not become micro-management. That resolution provides staff the liberty to do their work more efficiently. It doesn't remove our duty of oversight.
The board has implemented a fairly small number of policies over the years (and an even smaller number that are actually applicable to the projects). As a general rule, our projects are governed by their communities. I think people are going to be a little worried about anything that looks like it might facilitate centralized policy-making.
