In this case the translation is not a simple translation
of wording but has a legal value and replicates the
organizational aspects.<br>
<br>
</div>
"Consiglio direttivo" or "Conseil de direction" or <font face="Linux Biolinum O">"Consejo directivo"</font> is
the body that gives the strategies and the direction to
the executive body.<br>
<br>
</div>
This is the choise we did in Switzerland to translate it in
Italian and in French.<br>
<br>
</div>
Personally I would appreciate a lot to translate "Board of
Trustee" with "Consiglio di fondazione", but "Consiglio
direttivo" clarifies better the role (in several foundations
the decisional aspects are in charge of an executive director
and of his cabinet).<br>

<p><font face="Linux Biolinum O">I translated "trustees"
it in Esperanto to "kuratoro" (you find the same roots
in the German translation), and "board of trustees" as
"kuratoraro" (group of "kuratoro"), but "board" alone
as "estraro" (group of leader/boss/chief). <br>
