The questions you listed were excellent and I'm sure others will respond. I
do have a problem with the phraseology of one and would like to explain why.

All the other questions asked for the candidates point of view. "Defend your
answer" means his answer might be debated and causes some reluctance to
respond. I think questions with confrontational potential should be avoided
except, perhaps, about the oath and law. Even then I think there should be
no confrontational intent, although that might happen if the candidate is
derelict in his belief and observance of them.

IMO the question would be better phrased by asking him if he understood the
difference between the two and why only authority can be delegated. The
implication is for him to explain which opens the opportunity for follow-up
questions vice a face-off.

Even after almost 25 years on the District Eagle BoR, some of the questions
and phraseology were new to me; be assured they will be used at our next
Board. Thus, my tongue-in-cheek response to an additional part to the Law
would be, A Board Member always appropriates excellent questions for his own
use.
