The Advisory Board consists of nine elected participants and a Chair. The Team appoints the Chair of the Advisory Board, who is generally the CEO.
It seems to me that having the CEO chair the AB meeting isn't the best organization. It would make more sense for the AB to appoint someone else as the chair, to optimize for best chairing rather than best CEOing, and let the CEO be free to participate as a regular opinionated participant without having to balance the group.
My suggested wording:
The Advisory Board consists of nine elected participants, the CEO, and a Chair, who is generally one of the participants of the AB. The AB by consensus (or by vote if that fails) appoints the Chair of the Advisory Board, who sets the agenda with the advice and consent of the AB and the CEO.
This means technically that the AB can choose a chair who is not an elected member of the AB, but I think that's a feature not a bug. :) It might sometimes be useful.
