When I was on the board - the board never reviewed applications - that was not the boards responsibility.  We have zero sight of what was being applied for - or the process used to evaluate the applications.  

That would be like asking the board of any corporation to review individual sales of products the company was selling - it doesn't happen, and would never happen - that is not the function of a board.

Some fun background I re-read recently for my reporting about this.

(Summary: It corroborates what Andrew said RE board involvement in resource applications.)

Discussion about CIL on the RPD mailing list circa 2014:



Lots of gems in those minutes. Like Andrew getting in a kerfuffle with some other board members over making an audio recording of the meeting.

Also see "Discussion and decision about the Board Statement regarding the case of a particular resource application."
