In the interests of not letting this thread die:
I'd suggest that Wikimedia look at similar (as close as possible) foundations in the United States, and possibly elsewhere as well, for ideas on how to move forward. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel when you have a design that works - Wikimedia adopted a fairly conventional structure for its board, and it should continue to rely on governance concepts that have been proven. Organizations like Mozilla, EPIC, EFF, the ACLU and others might be targets not only for adapting their governance style but also for attracting outside members of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees. Additionally, you could investigate recruiting Board members from academic and encyclopedic organizations with similar missions.
Heh, sorry for the Off-topic joke, but with the migration to San Francisco, I can't resist...
With EPIC, you can't possibly mean the End Poverty In California movement by Upton Sinclair, do you...?
