It's not a full-time job, since being a board member is not supposed to 
be a full-time job either. I could imagine something like appointing 
Jan-Bart as the observer for all European chapters, or Barry for all 
Asian chapters (not that observers would necessarily have to be 
Wikimedia board or staff). Again, I don't know that this is really the 
best solution, but it's not completely impractical to arrange if such a 
direction is chosen.
