Sorry Fred, I think you misunderstood Angela's email. I believe this was an entree intended for someone specifically, at least thats the impression I got, and the email is just a mere polite pretext. Is this not the case?
We've had past board elections, and based on the turnout it is clear that there is no shortage of people who believe they are willing to take the charge. So I can see no other reason to ask this question now and here other than to begin discussion with a specific person without creating an impression of private dealings.
Since Angela has been advocating a high degree of openness, why don't we start with this request? When did random requests on troll infested mailinglists become an appropriate way to select board members?

With the talk on this list recently of jobs that need doing, I'm interested to know whether there are many people who would be interested in being a member of the Board if there were more seats available. If that is something you'd consider, please let me know.
Note that I'm not saying this is a possibility right now, but it would make planning easier if we had something more than guesswork of who might be a candidate to go on.
