Open over committee (5-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

above-board

'open' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'over committee' is the wordplay.
'over' becomes 'above' (I've seen this in another clue).
'committee' becomes 'board' (board is a kind of committee).
'above'+'board'='ABOVE-BOARD'

(Other definitions for above-board that I've seen before include "Honest" , "Straight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
