Hi Anita,
I suggest read the thread embedded into my last email I've just CCed to 
the board.
It doesn't include everything, but does include enough that you should 
get an idea.

The quick summary:
* After a conference committee face-to-face meeting at FOSS4G, Steven 
took on an action to clarify conference committee procedures.
* He did this, put it out for comment, actioned feedback, then put to 
the proposal to vote
* He received positive feedback from majority of the conference 
committee, and two -1 vetos from Venka and Maria (who are also on the 
board).
* This resulted in 120+ emails, and a stalemate.
* Maria has suggested to solve the problem of voting rules by putting on 
the board agenda. (Hence the implication of being micro-managed by the 
board)
