Thanks for the feedback! I'll ask the TB to do this then, at their (our)
next meeting.

Nice find!

I agree. My understanding is that everything the DMB does is under the
authority of the TB, and therefore the TB has the authority to change
that as they feel appropriate.
I prefer to seek this kind of change by consensus - which it appears we
have - but for such a significant structural change a formal TB decision
seems like the right way, and the members to be directly appointed can
be affirmed at the same time.
