That's incorrect.  The existence of a ticket can be used for tracking
purposes while the discussion of an item can be directed to
advisory-board.  Tickets exist because they are issues that need to be
solved.  Expecting the Board to do all of its issue tracking without a
tool that helps with issue tracking is an unrealistic expectation.
