It would be most helpful to know where and how the Board in general would welcome such issues being raised and how much resource they will have to sustain those discussions.
I think it is fair to say that we lack good, efficient and scalable communication channels. We have discussed additional ones, commitment tracking possibilities, etc. at Wikimania with the communication staff (who, by the way, are extremely professional and skilled), and it is my understanding that while it is impossible to make rapid improvements, we can come back to this conversation in 2017 and possibly make some improvements.
I personally would love e.g. to see a system of Board members cmmitments tracking (useful for the Board, just as much as for communal control), or a system in which the community could upvote/downvote partiular ideas to discuss (like in a community's wishlist).
Until we have better tech available, I want to assure you that I want to be available, and apart from Meta, I gladly offer IRC or video conversations, or other media, to whoever feels it may be useful (let's track this committment of mine in the old-fashioned way for now).
best,
dariusz "pundit"
