Sure.

I think that the FPL has always shared not only the thinking behind 
"what should be done with the appointed seats at any given board 
turnover point" but also solicited suggestions and attempted to build 
some level of consensus within the Board.

I'm guessing those conversations aren't in public summaries of Board 
meetings, but they do happen.

Personally, anytime I see something that says "the FPL will decide $FOO" 
I think you could rewrite it to say "the Board will decide $FOO, and the 
FPL, as chair of the Board, needs to lead the decision making".
