Nothing is a purely technical decision when you have more than 2
people working one something. At some point though you say its
technical enough. The "recommended spin" is the architecture that
"Engineering" represented by FESCO is relatively focused on.

If it comes to ping-pong, we can cut it short by outlining a good way
of doing so:
FESCO -> we don't believe we have purview here.
BOARD -> we need a recommendation
FESCO -> we believe we focus on X
BOARD -> we say make X so.

Or its going to be:
BOARD -> we need a recommendation from FESCO
FESCO -> we believer we focus on X
BOARD -> we say make X so.

Or we can short cut it down to

FESCO -> we believe we focus on X
BOARD -> we say make X so.

which is really

FESCO -> we believe we focus on X.
