I am not a big fan of trying to label this board as it does a bit more then just budgets or financial. It also does marketing, CI allocation and general bottle washer :-) I wish I could come up with a better name that works.

How about this then:

- DPDK Governing Committee (DGC) or DPDK Governing Board (DGB)

- Technical Steering Committee (TSC)

my $0.02 worth, does that make my a gold member :-)
