Hello Art, I already said multiple times that I think the AB has not enough visibility, so I agree with this in _most_ cases. AB also contributes to things that are quite sensitive: for instance in the past the CEO search. IMO, some of these discussions should not only remain non-public, but probably Team-confidential. > 2.

I agree with this with one big nit: if it's implemented then I think the AC and the AB have to change names. "Board" is widely understood by everyone in all industries as a nominated+elected team. "AC-Rep"=>"Member-Rep" and "AB"=>"AC" would do the trick IMO. </Daniel>
