Those are undoubtedly interesting assertions. Assuming the second one
is the case (big decisions should be made by the community), it raises
even more the question of why it is necessary or appropiate for the
selection of Foundation board seats to be discussed with the project
communities, doesn't it? That would really only make sense if you
expect the Foundation to make decisions that significantly impact
activities within the projects, something you just ruled out. So why?
Best regards,
