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.
