That's what I was getting at when I said the board would need to be
expanded. By your numbers, we could only have a representative of the
smaller projects by having 10 elected seats. That's not likely to
happen. Having such representation would involve giving members of
smaller projects more votes than larger ones, which isn't very "fair",
and probably isn't in the foundation's best interest.
