I must point out that, at this time, the WMF Board has not received consent from the community to make changes to its size or composition, nor to alter the terms for the holders of community-nominated seats to the Board.
I suggest that the Board start an RfC on Meta regarding extending the terms of existing community-selected trustees by one year. This would be a simple RfC and easy to implement.
A more complex RfC would be needed regarding the size and composition of the Board.
WMF has a pattern of making significant decisions which it has not discussed with the community in advance and for which it has not obtained the community's consent. The fact that the Board continues in this pattern even after a governance review is concerning.
From the e-mail to which you reply;
"We plan to present the Board’s vision and hold a community discussion as part of the process for the Bylaws change."
