Other hasty thoughts on a busy morning: the following are very different:
1) Entitling a point-of-contact or trusted position with authority to
make autonomous decisions without consulting [the board], while
requiring in return transparency and discussion with [the community]
beforehand
2) Entitling such a person to make decisions without consulting with
anyone, to privately filter or veto similar efforts of others, or to
force all related efforts to go through him/her.
Hopefully the official positions conceived are of the first type; the
current meta page on the subject does not quite specify.
