We are saying the same thing.
Mine is to just remind us of the slippery slop of engaging the Chair of the Board in operational matters.
I've also said that there may be a flaw (key word being 'may') in the way executive responds to queries.

This is simply good corporate governance. It's also important to protect the board from claims of interference in day to day running of the Organisation.
