[Foundation-l] "Expertise" board seats: the NomCom invites your feedback

[Dan Rosenthal]

Really? Cause I didn't get that message at all. What I got out of it  
was, "The board intends to consolidate the power of the existing big  
name chapters, and make some gesture of including them on the board,  
but we're actually not addressing substantively the issue of making it  
easy for them to actually form and be approve."

There's no excuse for blaming the chapters or the people in them when  
the system for developing and approving them is fundamentally flawed.
