You are not in possession of all the facts.
KC (Kim Claffy) is KC6KCC.
https://www.fccbulletin.com/callsign/?q=KC6KCC
The grant date was 2018-02-21.
That is of that callsign, she was KM6PUK before she got KC6KCC, and KM6PUK was granted 01/31/2018, assuming she took the Tech exam with Greater Los Angeles Amateur Radio Group VEC some time before that.
So both of the above statements can be true at the same time since I have no idea when KC joined the ARDC board. When was that?
I was critical of this since at least 2012. John Gilmore was also on the board and was unlicensed at the time.

This is a moot point as having a valid amateur license is about the lowest bar any board member should have. 90% of this list can take the exam and pass without studying. The bigger question is what have any of the board members done in the time they've been on the board. Certainly not reach out to the users of the resource. There has been no communication from them until now.
From an operational standpoint, RDNS for many subnets is still broken.
