The current text says:
In no circumstances may the IAB or ISOC Board of Trustees overturn a decision of the IAOC that nvolves a binding contract or overturn a personnel-related action (such as hiring, firing, promotion, demotion, performance reviews, salary adjustments, etc.).
Margaret objected that because of ISOC's fiduciary responsibility, the right to overturn stuff that was actively harmful to ISOC couldn't be taken away from them.
John commented that in his opinion, giving the ISOC BoT the power to overturn on appeal made certain unpalatable scenarios more likely.
However, this paragraph deals with *appeals*, not the ISOC BoT general financial oversight function. And I do not think that the ISOC BoT needs to have a special power to do on appeal what they can already do because of their fiduciary responsibility - nor should they.
So I suggest the following modification to the paragraph:
In no circumstances may the IAB or ISOC Board of Trustees overturn a decision of the IAOC that involves a binding contract or overturn a personnel-related action (such as hiring, firing, promotion, demotion, performance reviews, salary adjustments, etc.) as a result of an appeal.
That should prevent the scenario that worried John, but makes it clear that the ISOC BoT's oversight role is not what's being circumscribed here.
Makes sense?
