I cannot possibly agree more with this statement. This only further

As an example, I would like to see the OGB not have to be involved in
the recognition of contributors.
Indeed, I agree totally. And they didn't, it was left to the
Communities. The direct recognition process is an exception-handling
process.
As far as the OGB's powers: I think that the OGB's powers should be
limited unless they are acting as an arbiter to resolve conflict, or
to help guide the community to a decision where there is deadlock.
This has been my consistent position throughout the OGB's tenure and
I believe that it's what the Governance says, as far as that's possible.
While it's gratifying to see all this interest in the governance, I
only wish it had been expressed several months ago when requested.
