[Foundation-l] Opinions/suggestions for "outside" members of the board?

[Jimmy Wales]

To continue the ongoing board development conversation....

The board is considering adding some prominent person from outside the
core Wikipedia community to the board and seeks brainstorming ideas of
what type of person could be good, as well as mentions of names who we
might want to approach.

Larry Lessig - head of Creative Commons

Mitch Kapor - head of Mozilla Foundation (Firefox), founder of EFF, and
extremely passionate about the Wikipedia mission (and he edits
Wikipedia, and he is absolutely fascinated by and supportive of our
community model)

Richard Stallman - needs no introduction

Eben Moglen - main legal mastermind of the FSF

Comments on these names are welcome... as are further ideas of course!
