Preferably as an additional member, but if Jimbo's control issues won't allow the board to expand then maybe Ant or Angela would be willing to step down (we could give her some sort of new title like "Volunteer advocate" and an advisory position).
Anthony, please stop trolling. I am at the forefront of advocating board expansion, so you have a hell of a nerve accusing me of "control issues".

You're the one who set up the board such that you and your Bomis partners permanently control 3/5 of the votes. If you're at the forefront of advocating board expansion, you certainly haven't been doing so very loudly. And I wonder who it is that's against it.
Looking at the recent changes to the foundation wiki, I see http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution_President, affirming you as President and authorizing you to make certain decisions, "failed to gain Board support". I wonder: Who proposed that resolution? Who voted for it? Who voted against it?
Since this is such a "transparent organization", I suppose I won't wonder these things too long.
