And we need to preserve the community’s ability to challenge the Board’s implementation of GAC Advice, which is what my proposal is intended to do.

SO: Actually if this is true, I don't think its right to say GAC did this but rather that board made this happen. We cannot have a board that does not have option to decide independently be it on GAC advice/ALAC's or any other policy outcome of an SO. As far as I am concerned, the most neutral part of this community remains the board and they require adequate means of exercising that role.
