Fiduciary duty — your legal obligation to act in the company's interest, not your own. "My fiduciary duty is to SDWC."
Fit-and-proper criteria — Schedule IV vetting: competence, integrity, no disqualifications. You'll "satisfy fit-and-proper."
Declaration of independence — the written form you file confirming no disqualifying ties.
Ex-officio director — a serving official on the board by virtue of their post (the three Joint Secretaries). You are the opposite: independent.

Oversight vs. management — the board *governs*, management *runs*. Your #1 phrase.
