I have been out of the loop on WIO for sometime, so I am not well informed on
the governance.  When last I dealt with WIO, it was to be a standards
organization with no operational authority.  I don't think there is a problem
with a stakeholder board in that case.  If however, the board has operation
authority, not just standards and review of compliance, than perhaps an
indepent board is required.
