    However, I think that in your
    conversation you are also implying that they have the responsibility
    to actually make things happen. This is not how the board works IMHO
    though. In GNOME things happen because someone makes them happen.

Looking at the minutes of board meetings, I see that the board does a
lot of work and makes many decisions, especially about events.
The board also provides leadership about which way to go.

So I think it makes perfect sense to consider the board as a body that
really makes some decisions, and makes some things happen--even if not
everything.
