It's hard to imagine the commissioner not being involved in those kinds of things. There's been an evolution in language here that I may have made up in my own mind, but it seemed that in earlier iterations, they were talking about an independent commission for debates. I've noticed the expression “commissioner” now creep into more recent documents. My sense is that nuance is probably advised and useful to avoid building the massive bureaucracies that Jane was alluding to. It may allow for more flexibility.
