Caz,
I'm glad to hear that 'your' BOI presidents had some leeway but there are plenty of people out there who might disagree with you - maybe not in 1 Gp but they would still disagree. Incidently, I agree that TORs should give some leeway but whether the board memebers would actually fancy critising the people who sign their ACRs is a variable I would rather see removed from BOIs/SIs.
