See Angela's "mail Wikispecies" mailing.
(what follows is my follow-up to some of Anthere's points)
Anyway, my issue was mainly that although quite a few people are active on the mailing list and IRC, a lot of people "on the ground" don't have an inkling. The board should not be handling this issue by posting a notice on every project - my concern was mainly that those in charge of the relevant projects seemed to not have posted any notification of this new project, which could be useful. Those who are doing the grunt work often can provide helpful feedback. As for missing the discussion, I only subscribed very recently after finding out about the Chinese Wikipedia issue, as I was curious about it.

Finally, there were some report on meta, which you may find here : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Board_meetings/5_September_2004 Unless I am wrong, this link was also given on this ml.
I searched my mailing list archive (last 6 months) and could _not_ find any reference to this board meeting.
Please publish the IRC log of this meeting.
