Having only recently had a referendum on this (or at least a closely
related issue, e.g. the size of the Board), I think that if the Board
wants to retain the goodwill and trust of the electorate it should abide
by the referendum results.

A key argument in favor of the "reduce the size of the Board" referendum
was that it would be accompanied by expanded delegation and the
formation of subcommittees/action groups etc. to which tasks would be
delegated by the Board.  Let's do it!
