Trying to make the Board literally representative of all languages or cultures is trying the impossible. However, making the ability to speak English no longer a requirement to participate in Foundation matters, _is_ possible. And perhaps, as part of that process, it will even become possible for a person who does not speak English to be elected to the Board.
... I'm not sure this objective as stated makes sense for the moment. The Board is of a US-based nonprofit and must deal with matters of legal consequence in English, the language of local jurisprudence.
Non-english users need to have access for at least read decisions made by that "US-based nonprofit". This is very simple.
