+That's still a discussion, where views and directions are given. No
+strict decision.
+
+Because I'm a board member does not mean that everything I say in any
+discussion is a de-facto board view/decision (thankfully). It can hint
+about what my views are and how I would express them in a board
+meeting; but it doesn't mean that this will necessarily be what I'll
+vote for either.

+
+Not necessarily, but it can happen.
+
+As a reminder:
+ - council meeting/decisions are made by team representatives, that
+express their team's views;
+ - board meeting/decisions are made by board members, that express
+their own views, with consideration given to the council (hence teams)
+and community views at large + project objectives & means.
+
+That does not prevent individual members of each, out of these
+instances, to express their own views, without these having the force
+of a rule at once (again, thankfully).

+
+See that with your mentor.
