Authorize staged hedging, selected rebalancing, tested liquidity and funding-diversification gates; review nonparallel rate and correlated runoff scenarios monthly and stop execution that would breach approved capital limits.

What happened
No specific May 9, 2022 joint-committee action is established by the captured public record; later evidence shows exposure persisted, March 8 actions were announced, a run followed and the bank entered receivership.
Public evidence does not establish the exact May 9 board action. Later official reviews identify management and supervisory weaknesses, but causal weights remain bounded and the Part A recommendation cannot be treated as an observed decision.
