[Foundation-l] Would you consider being on the Board?

[Gregory Maxwell]

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?

We've had past board elections, and based on the turnout it is clear
that there is no shortage of people who believe they are willing to
take the charge. So I can see no other reason to ask this question now
and here other than to begin discussion with a specific person without
creating an impression of private dealings.

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?
