Yes,
But I would like to keep what relevant in place. I don't think
inviting the whole WMF board is necessary nor productive. For example
Example; personally I think Bishaka would definitely need to be there
(India), but is Phoebe relevant? This is Asian chapter's meeting, I
don't remember WMID voting for Phoebe for chapter's seat (for example)
nor the organization find it necessary of her being there. If WMHK and
WMAU wanted to invite her relevant to their GLAM project (for example)
then she need to be there.
Since this is a focus on us, (another example), I don't even think
inviting Mike Godwin is necessary.
So I'm just focusing on who need to be there and who doesn't.
Otherwise it would be a waste of resources both for us (time) and
theirs (time and money).
