What?! Sorry, you still seem to not get it...
The ruling body is GA. And GA controls Board.

Isn't really needed since GA can call for Board elections anytime (e.g. in case board acts awkward).

There can't be any equal-to between the entities, on purpose.

Dude, members can't be elected...
And for the reason of fullfilling tax-examption constraints, GA needs to be open for everyone and can't be fixed in size.

That is admittedly a flaw, but it was left open purposedly in order to prevent any "power-grab"-discussions. Didn't work out so well...
And I've repeatedly said that responsibility (rulings) needs to be defined/limited. If each has their "departments", problem solved.
Simple approach: define council work/duties and leave the rest for GA.
