I am grateful to Alison and Tom for taking this on, and it sounds like they are doing a thorough job with some sensible recommendations. Question: What is the difference between a board and a commission? (This article refers to both commission members and board members, often in the same sentence.)

In addition to rules for removing members, I would like to see more adherence to the criteria for appointing members. It appears that some boards or commissions have no requirements for qualifications, or that they are frequently ignored in the appointment process.
