I agree, if decision go against (or choosing the 2nd choice or something) the
recommendation; i would expect the board members to explain their choice, tbh,
i think this is common sense... i didn't even think it was required to do so.
Of course, the rest of the community should also accept that the board has
more expertise/knowledge on this, and if they explain sufficiently, it should be
no problem.
Of course, every choice they/we make, we'll never satisfy everyone, just
remember that sometimes a compromise will be necessary and you should accept
that (or start a public slander campaign :-D ).
