Outside the boardroom
Hi,
"...The commission sets out 12 recommendations to tackle high pay. The main reforms include: ...
Publishing the top 10 executive pay packages outside the boardroom. ..." [From the Guardian.]
Does the adverbial "outside the boardroom" refer to the "Publishing" or to the "top 10 executive pay packages"?
Does the phrase "the top 10 executive pay packages" mean the "10 [different] pay packages (outside the boardroom)" of the one person or the" pay packages" of the 10 top executive officers?
Thank you.
