That's the license review "board", not OSI.

"Board" is in quotes because this historically has been one person who 
makes a recommendation to the executive board.

If you read the /executive/ board meeting minutes, it's clear that OSI 
has taken all sorts of actions other than the task of the license review 
board.

     Thanks
