"Supreme court" is just kind of a analogy I came up with and not meant to be
a permanent label. If you've got a better name, I'd love to hear it. I think
part of the current people are having is over different conceptions of what
a "board" ought to do, so maybe better terminology will help.

Terminology can't solve everything (what a world that would be!). My main
concern here is blurred lines and a lot of possible back and forth as people
are unclear where to go for what. If you've got some suggestions for making
the delineation sharp, I think that would really help.

This comes back to sounding like "court" to me, although maybe there's
something loaded in that term that doesn't sit right.
