[Translators-l] How should I translate "the Board"?

[mathieu stumpf guntz]

The text also refer to an "Executive Director", so I looked if there was 
an "Executive Board" to make sure "Board" couldn't be ambiguous. As far 
as I found, there was an "Executive committee" now "considered disbanded 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_committees#Executive_committee>".

So, am I right thinking that there is no other "board" or "committee" 
with which the term "Board" and its translations might create confusion?
