+1

It should take more than just one person complaining to get the FPB
involved (as a body) in these decisions.  Obviously, Board members may
be involved as contributors in the decision.

What I'm saying is, it shouldn't be possible to do an end-run[1] around
FESCo, unless there is something egregious happening.  To prevent that,
we may want an informal "Ombudsman clause".  Someone from the community
can contact an FPB member directly, specify the egregiousness, and that
Board member can either take it to the rest of the Board, or talk to the
FESCo chair about the situation.

Objective -- avoid wasteful and silly fights. :)
