I understand that's what they're supposed to do, but invariably there is an amount of interpretation and no matter "who" you put in this position they can still make the same mistakes. Why would having another layer in between the head ref and the GDC make things any better? This new person could just as easily make the same mistake. Most of the time something that you think is "the head ref making a new rule" is them thinking they are simply applying an existing rule. This problem of interpretation can occur no matter what title the person holds.
