I expect anyone serious about joining the Board this year to be reading this mailing list. They couldn't possibly have a thorough enough understanding of what the Foundation is about without doing that, and for a community representative (as opposed to the outsiders who may be appointed), I do expect them to be participating in foundation issues before they're appointed, as well as being active on the projects.
Actually I think the Board could profit substantially from bringing in some outsiders with experience in operating nonprofits but unsullied by exposure to the myriad wrong ways that we do things here at Wikimedia.
