Why include roles not used on boards? In case they are in the future?

If so I'd change title to has been used on or previously used...

I would break out the Role name and description into different columns and bold the name. Make it easier for people to scan

Fair point

Necro

Not required to be changed but my opinion on one role:



Role: Motion Detector
Alignment: Good... supposedly
Used on boards.ie: Unfortunately yes
If yes how often: NEVER AGAIN
