That said, there's one thing that I wonder about here. By the old process, and still with this update of it, MoUs and similar contractual relationships not necessarily named MoUs need to go through AC review, and are subject to AC appeal. I think that made full sense in the old world, but I wonder about whether this is a point of the Process stepping on the BoD's toes. We might want to think through this interaction. Giving visibility to the AC and getting input makes sense, but tying the Board's hands might not.

Yes, I think it may be time to disentangle formal contracts that legally bind the corporation, from memoranda of understanding that record a mutual understanding and intent.

@frivoal @dwsinger Let's tackle that question in https://github.com/w3c/w3process/issues/670 and keep this one focused on fixing up references.

Oversight over the Team, budgeting, and other business decisions is provided by the W3C Board of Directors , and not subject to the Process.

This can be read to say that the Team is not subject to the Process -- that may not be intended, but we should avoid that impression.

Also, the Process link is wrong.

Also, the Process link is wrong.

Oops, fixed now, thanks.

It's the way Team oversight works (through the Board) which isn't subject to the Process. Grammatically I think that's unambiguous, but if it gives the wrong impression, maybe we should switch to something like this?

Oversight over the Team, budgeting, and other business decisions is provided by the W3C Board of Directors, rather than managed directly by the Process.

[mnot]

That's much better, thanks.

@mnot Treated this as an editorial tweak, and as such applied editorial discretion to fold it in directly.
