I agree with this concern, but how to address it?  I do not know of any
prominent leaders either "outside" or "inside" Wikipedia from either
Korea or Madagascar... or similar places.

It is not hard to find community leaders in France and Germany and
Holland and Italy and... all of the countries where the "international
crowd" has good connections.  It is harder to find community leaders in
Japanese and Chinese... we know a few but there is unfortunately not as
much communication there as we would like, etc.

In terms of well known outsiders to bring into the board for oversight
and vision and specific talents, again, Korea and Madagascar and
similar, hmm, we lack knowledge.
