There is (or at least, should be) discussion going on on meta about board election rules and membership. It's important for everyone to contribute to those discussion - if you don't, don't expect anyone to listen to your complaints after the fact! This particularly applies to the board who all agreed to contribute to the discussion 3 days ago and have been silent since - I know you're all working hard with other things, but discussion takes time, we need your input as soon as possible so people have a chance to reply. Decisions need to be made sooner rather than later and there is a lot to discuss before we can finalise anything.
The relevant talk pages are:

So please get discussing!
