I would support Tim resigning as early as possible. I have nothing against him, but we need active board members and he is simply not. Resigning this summer for example.

Do you think the Executive Director (CEO) would also be on the Board at the same time?
Outsiders will obviously be appointed. For community members, we roughly have 4 solutions
- board appoint people (benefit, we are more likely to get people with
the best skills compared with what we need. Drawback : see current criticism)
- community votes for people (Drawback : less chance to get great people
from minority languages or projects. Might miss some great choices.)
- community votes per group perhaps, board pick up in the outcome
(en.wiki arbitration type). (Drawback : board might be expected to pick up those with highest number of votes anyway)
- Board pre-selection, then community vote (Benefit : more likely to get
what is truely needed).
* The Board states certain requirements or wishes, and the community self-selects / votes in knowledge of those stated requirements and wishes. The Board can also invite people to be candidates, or endorse particular candidates.
