James et al.:

I can't imagine how this development, i.e., the board seemingly exercising some semblance of authority over the broader community process, will not lead to renewed political turbulence in Washington.  Even if there is no particular leverage, the mere perception may well be enough kindling.

Of course dialog should continue among all stakeholders and interests including the board.  Even the slightest hint, however, that the public comment process is being bypassed or superseded by other dialogs/negotiations may trigger concerns of a lack of transparency and side-dealing, i.e., some of the very conditions that fueled the call for greater accountability in the first place.  

Just thinking out loud.

Alice,

we need to know where this will be done at the time the poll closes and
