Michael has helped greatly in
the first years of existence of the Foundation, so I hope you will have

Or we get a board mostly made of big shots, famous,
rich, or very
skilled (all things potentially beneficial), but who just *do not get
it*. A centralized organization, very powerful, but also very top-down.
Michael Davis is a good example of how there's room for a mixed
structure for the board, with community members who get the projects
and the culture, and people with valuable skills and experience who
come from outside the community.
