Do us the favor to not imagine we have NEVER given any thoughts to the matter. I remember spending hours on this in the past. See all the pages here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Membership
And explanations for change of bylaws http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2006-December/025543.html

I know it has been discussed many times before. But were there ever any conclusions reached? And if not isn't it still an open discussion?
Thankyou for the link to Erik's post.
In it he says
"4) The notion of community elections is described in the bylaws, as is a commitment that a majority of the Board will come from the community through appointment or election (the scope of "community" is to be defined by the Board)."
I think I missed that definition of "community" that was defined by the Board.
If the Board did define the scope of "community" then I apologise for being redundant.
