Hoi, There are many people who could make a valuable contribution to this advisory board. You apparently have yours and I do not even know Sunir Shah.There are other people on this board that I do not really know either. I have some people that I would like to see included.
The point is not who is not on it, the point is are the people on this list complementary in stead of all being in the same mould. When this is a great list of people, celebrate them. When there are people who are complementary, suggest them in a nice, even private way. Your indignation does not work for me, quite the contrary.
Thanks, GerardM

The list is excellent. The only mile-wide glaring omission from it that I can think of, is Sunir Shah. What happened? Was he asked and refused a position on the advisory board?

Excellent selections!
What sort of thing would we bug them with, through what channel?
I'm wondering on the issue of setting up an "editorial concerns" channel for English Wikipedia, our vastly successful and troublesome child. Mathias Schindler floated the idea after the Microsoft press in the past few days and I repeated the suggestion on Friday.
I can't say I'm having great success or a wave of people going "Hell yes, that's a great idea! I'll volunteer to help monitor that!" Evidently I'm just not using something that the cats think is tuna. HELP NEEDED.
Having an editorial concerns channel is I think an obviously nice idea; how to deal with the likely flood of crap^Wless valid concerns and the lack of a wave of volunteers going "hell yes, I'll watch it" is another matter. How would this remarkable selection of social website experts suggest we attract and keep the volunteers for it? I'm at a loss.
