OK, I've read this sentence five times now, and this is what I read: "Board members agree that chapters should be directed or controlled in a top-down fashion as franchises" I think there is a double negative here that is saying the opposite of what you meant to say. Should not the sentence be: "I can't think of a single board member who *agrees* one bit with the idea that chapters should be directed or controlled in a top-down fashion as "franchises" or anything similar? Or has my English played a trick on me?
