The Board approves various uses of the trademarks without any

Red Hat legal making the decision without involving the Board as an
example of why the community should be the ones approving the use of
trademarks.

Red Hat owns the trademark and the board has no authority to stop Red Hat from exercising its rights as the trademark owner.  Unless it is owned by a non-profit foundation, this won't change and even then, it is likely the arrangement would have to involve giving a very broad license to Red Hat.  Having said that, if the board wants to provide more transparency and involvement in general,  I would suggest doing an yearly or bi yearly report of the board activities c.f  GNOME Foundation.
