Board of Commissioners (BOC)

Untuk organisasi pemerintah atau semi-pemerintah, BOC sebaiknya diterjemahkan menjadi dewan komisaris. Di Google dan Yahoo!, silakan ketik istilah board of commissioners dan kita akan diberi daftar banyak board of commissioners, terutama dari county, setingkat kabupaten. Contoh: Wake County Board of Commissioners, Washington County Board of Commissioners, Oakland County Board of Commissioners, Franklin County Board of Commissioners (ketuanya disebut president). Di Inggeris Raya, the Forestry Commission (www.forestry.gov.uk) punya board of commissioners yang anggota-anggotanya adalah sejumlah direktur dan non-executive commissioner. Ketuanya disebut chairman.

Di Google, saya melihat istilah board of commissioners yang dipakai oleh sebuah perusahaan swasta di Indonesia, yang jelas sangat membingungkan orang Amerika, Inggeris, Australia dll. Kok ada perusahaan swasta yang punya board of commissioners?

Implikasi bagi penerjemah: Kalau customer kita terbiasa memakai istilah board of commissioners untuk dewan komisarisnya dan informasi tersebut sudah disebarkan ke seluruh dunia, serahkan kepada customer apakah mau memakai istilah tersebut terus atau mengubahnya menjadi board of supervisors seperti di Jerman dll, atau board of directors seperti yang umum di Inggeris, AS dll., walaupun berdasarkan common law board of directors sebuah corporation memiliki wewenang pengawasan, pengarahan, pengendalian dan pengelolaan sekaligus. Untuk lebih lengkapnya, silakan baca diskusi tentang “director.”

Per 12 Juni 2008, wikipedia.org tidak punya penjelasan tentang board of commissioners, hanya board of supervisors.
