I'm not quite sure what you're discussing.  Are you talking about the
financial oversight role that has happened in some past year?  Or are
you talking about a Board member who gives reports to the Board?
There should probably be a motion for that either at the Conference
Committee or Board depending on which of those roles you're
discussing.

This and really all OSGeo infrastructure requests or questions go
through an OSGeo SAC ticket,
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC#Task_Tracking.  Make sure to set the
component or they might not get it.  Referencing similar old SAC
tickets could be useful too,

You bring up Boston which is great.  You'll want to coordinate with
them until the conclusion of the 2017 event.
