So, should we launch something to make possibly confusing terms more
distinctive, or at least some recommendation about how should preferably
name each of them in official documentation? Well, having a page
defining Endowment Advisory Board roles and composition on Meta would
also seems interesting to my mind. :)
As anyone suggestion about actionable items about that?

In the same resolution you after all find a mixed use of Board of
Directors and Board of Trustees which I wasn't aware of when we voted
(and which I find very confusing by myself).

The text also refer to an "Executive Director", so I looked if
there was an "Executive Board" to make sure "Board" couldn't be
ambiguous. As far as I found, there was an "Executive committee"
now "considered disbanded
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_committees#Executive_committee>".
So, am I right thinking that there is no other "board" or
"committee" with which the term "Board" and its translations might
create confusion?

"Consiglio direttivo" for languages connected with the latin.
In this case the translation is not a simple translation of
wording but has a legal value and replicates the organizational
aspects.
"Consiglio direttivo" or "Conseil de direction" or "Consejo
directivo" is the body that gives the strategies and the
direction to the executive body.
This is the choise we did in Switzerland to translate it in
Italian and in French.
Personally I would appreciate a lot to translate "Board of
Trustee" with "Consiglio di fondazione", but "Consiglio
direttivo" clarifies better the role (in several foundations the
decisional aspects are in charge of an executive director and of
his cabinet).
Kind regards

<https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=agg-2017_Wikimedia_movement_strategy_process&language=eo&filter=%21translated&action=translate>
where "Board" is a recurring term.
I guess that it is referring to the board of trustees
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_of_trustees>. Am I wrong?
If not, in the previous link, translations are rather parse
in their meaning (as far as I can say):
* Kuratorium
* Consejo directivo
* Zuzendaritza Batzordea
* Comité des sages
* Rada Powiernicza
* Conselho Diretivo
I translated "trustees" it in Esperanto to "kuratoro" (you
find the same roots in the German translation), and "board of
trustees" as "kuratoraro" (group of "kuratoro"), but "board"
alone as "estraro" (group of leader/boss/chief).
Any comment is welcome.
