This seems to be missing a rather crucial intermediate step; the one where the recommendations are accepted, or not, by the wider Wikimedia community.
That step is not mentioned at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Frequent...
But it is alluded to further down that page, albeit with an apparent assumption that the recommendations will (all) be implemented:

In the light of Nicole's recent - and reassuring - email:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2019-August/093303.html
perhaps that section could be updated to reflect that:
"[recommendations not needing the legal authority of the board] will then be further delegated to other community mechanisms and structures for approval or further consultation."
