'delays decisions' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'is a member of a board and' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sits' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
