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?
Not at all! We are genuinely interested in assessing who from the community would be available and interested.
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?
This is foundation-l, where we discuss the foundation. The board has expressed an interest in having more people involved on the board, and would like a general indication of interest in serving, both from people who are willing to go through the election process to be a "community representative" in the formal sense, and also those who have professional or other qualifications but who might not have the fame or popularity within the community to go through that process.
