[Foundation-l] Report on board meeting

[Florence Devouard]

I did not ask the board to approve the election committee, because I did 
not feel I was ready to propose them names.

I called last week for candidates.
The candidates are now listed 
here:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2008/Committee/en#Candidates

Next step, I asked for feedback on the candidates. I got a few 
feedbacks, but not sufficiently for me to feel confortable enough 
suggesting names to approve by the board. Please offer me more feedback 
on the candidates :-)
