A pesak  that the grandson of R. Chaim Brisker, notably RYBS, did not

He did not allow joint "religious"  bodies.  He made an exception for "klapei 
chutz" type issues -- and  BTW was roundly criticized for that.  Given the 
history of his fraught  relations with the Reform movement, which tried to 
impose its will on many  German kehillos and willfully closed down yeshivos and 
mikvaos, there is no  chance that Hirsch would have looked benignly even on 
"klapei chutz" joint  bodies, either.
