If it is an ICANN process, it might follow that the Board would approve any recommendations.  But if it is a community process outside of ICANN, that would not seem to be the case.  A corollary question is "Why would the ICANN board approve a recommendation to separate PTI from ICANN

I think that as a review process the Board is in the approval chain.

As to why they would sign?  Because the community recommended it, just
as they sign off on the ATRT recommendations.
And if they didn't then there are the accountability escalation mechanisms.

As for whether an AR process would need Board signoff.  Not sure, kind
of depends on how it is set up and whether we have some sort of member's
council.  But since they are the ones that have to sign the contract
post RFP or whatever, it seems sort of a moot question.
