And, I would argue for a different governance model where the Board of
Trustees and the Volunteer Council are both referenced in the Bylaws
with their respective responsibilities, and requirements of volunteer
participation in wiki projects only apply to the Volunteer Council,
while the focus for Board membership are legal, managerial, financial
qualification requirements.
